Question

: Consider two blocks of masses ma, me and a triangular
wedge M arranged as shown in the figure. (consider all
surfaces to be frictionless, strings to be massless and
taut & pulleys to be massless and frictionless.)
Draw free body diagram for the masses ma, me and M.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)draw the free body diagram of the blocks.

2) The acceleration of the block lying on the inclined plane will be in a downward direction.

3)block kept on the flat surface having acceleration in the leftward direction.

now writing the equation for both after resolving the forces

mgsinθ−T=ma

T=ma

hence ma=T

on putting in equation (1) we get

T=

2

mgsinθ
