Block on an incline tied over a pulley to a hanging mass

An example figure from the Pulley Generator.

A block m_1 on a ramp at angle θ, tied by a string over a pulley at the top of the ramp to a hanging block m_2, with tension, weights and the normal force drawn
A block m_1 on a smooth ramp at 40°, its angle marked θ, tied by a string running parallel to the slope over a pulley at the top of the ramp to a block m_2 hanging beside the ramp’s tall side. Tension T is drawn along the string, the weights m_1 g and m_2 g point straight down and the normal force F_N points out of the slope.
