This is an interactive homework problem for introductory physics students relating to interacting forces in a system featuring an incline plane, two blocks of equal mass, and an ideal pulley. Given the angles of incline, mass of the blocks, and coefficient of friction, students must determine the acceleration of the block moving up the incline. A user-activated "help" sequence is provided for each step of the problem-solving, including conceptual analysis, free-body diagrams, and tips to set up the calculations. Immediate feedback is received for both correct and incorrect responses.
