A large cubical block of ice of mass M = 29.8 kg and sides of length L 31.9 cm is held stationary on a frictionless ramp. The ramp is at an angle of \theta = 34.3\deg above the horizontal. The ice cube is held in place by a rope of negligible mass and length 1.81 m. The rope is attached to the surface of the ramp and to the upper edge of the ice cube, a distance L above the surface of the ramp. Find the tension in the rope.
