Crate A & B pushed up a hill#

A person is pushing crate \(\rm{A}\) and \(\rm{B}\) up a hill to have it slide down into an area for pickup and loading. Crate A has a mass of \(m_1 = {{ params.m1 }} \ \rm{kg}\) and Crate B has a mass of \(m_2 = {{params.m2}} \ \rm{kg}\). The hill makes an angle of \(\theta = {{ params.theta }}^{\circ}\) with the horizontal.
