Answer 1

Answer:

Rod A can slide in vertical direction pushing the triangular wedge B towards left. The wedge is

moving toward right with uniform acceleration a,. Find acceleration of the rod A.

B

737

Answer 2

Answer3ab/4

Explanation:

we know that component of acceleration along the normal are equal,

so acceleration of a*cos 37 = acceleration of b*sin 37     (by simple geometry)

so acceleration of a= 3ab/4

here ab=accleration of wedge b
