A block of mass m lies on wedge of mass m on a smooth fixed wedge of inclination theta. A particle of mass m lies on the wedge of mass m
Answers
Given:
- A wedge of mass M lies on a smooth fixed wedge of inclination θ. A particle of mass m lies on the wedge of mass M in the figure. All surfaces are frictionless and the distance of the block from the fixed wedge is l.
To Find:
- Normal reaction between m and M
- The time after which the particle will hit the fixed plane.
Solution:
The given question is incomplete so write the complete question.
The figure is attached below.
In the reference frame attached to wedge of mass M the particle of mass m can only move horizontally.

Applying Newton's second law for the particle
Applying Newton's second law for wedge of mass M
Solving (i), (ii) and (iii) we get
Explanation:
Here we should take Pseudo force ( it will be toward the opp side of acceleration)
At eqm
macosθ = mgsinθ
a = g tanθ
Condition for the block to not slip
Normal should be balanced with he net downward forces
N = mg cosθ + m a sinθ
=mg cosθ + m g tanθ sinθ
= mgcosθ + mgsin²θ /cosθ
= mg cos²θ + mgsin²θ
cosθ
N = mg/ cosθ
