As shown in the figure, blocks of masses m₁ = 250.0 g and m₂ = 500.0 g are attached by a massless string over a frictionless and massless pulley. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and inclined plane are 0.250 and 0.123, respectively. The angle of the incline is θ = 30.0°, and the blocks are at rest initially.

a) In which direction do the blocks move?

b) What is the acceleration of the blocks?
