Question

All surfaces shown in figure are frictionless. A block of mass 2kg is kept on a wedge of mass 10kg . If the mass 2kg remains stationary w.r.t wedge , the magnitude of force P is

Answer 1

hey mate...

here is your answer...

As the [ Wedge + Block ] system would accelerate, a pseudo(fictitious) force would act on the block relative to the non-inertial frame of reference, Wedge.

So, if 'N' is the normal reaction on the block,

then,

mg*cos37 + mA*sin37 = N

hope it helps...
