Figure 5-59 shows a box of mass `m_(2)=1.0` kg on a friction-less plane inclined at angle `theta=30^(@)`. It is connected by a cord of negligible mass to a mass `m_(1)=2.5` kg on a horizontal frictionless surface. The pulley is frictionless and massless. (a) If the magnitude of horizontal force `vec(F)` is 2.3 N, what is the tension in the connecting cord? (b) What is the largest value the magnitude of `vec(F)` may have without the cord becoming slack?
