The diagram is a picture of a acute triangle and I have to find the angle of it, but it's a bit more complicated. There is a 3.7kg mass on the surface of the inclined plane and is connected to a 2kg mass and the pulley and string are massless and have no friction. The 2kg mass is acted upon by an upward force of 3.9N and has a downward acceleration of 4.6m/s^2. I found the tension in the connecting string and that 6.5N. What I don't get is how to find the angle and someone tried helping but what they did was 4.6=gsintheta but that was wrong.

The question is not clear for me. What is the relation of the triangle and the angle to the rest of the question? Would be better if you draw a picture and place it to Internet. You may use http://photobucket.com/ or another similar site.
