The following equations describe the motion of a system of two objects:

+n - (5.00 kg)(9.8 m/s2)cos 15.0° = 0
fk = 0.360n
+T + (5.00 kg)(9.8 m/s2)sin 15.0° - fk = (5.00 kg)a
-T + (3.10 kg)(9.8 m/s2) = (3.10 kg)a
(a) Solve the equations for a and T.
a (in m/s2)=
T (in N)=

In what situation might these equations be useful?
