This is a Short Answer type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- in equilibrium, The force mgsin acting on the block A is parallel to the plane should be balanced by the tension in the string
mgsin
and for block B, w=T=F
from these two above equation
w=mgsin = 100sin30= 100 (1/2)=50N
