A m1 = 49.0 kg block and an m2 = 103.0 kg block are connected by a string as in Figure P7.28. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 49.0 kg block and incline is 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of the 49.0 kg block as it moves from A to B, a distance of 20.0 m.

See attachment for a diagram of the setup.
