Question

Two particles a and b of masses 3 kg and 2 kg are connected by a light inextensible string. the
particles are in contact with the smooth faces of a wedge dce of mass 10 kg resting on a smooth
horizontal plane. when the system is moving freely, find the acceleration of the wedge (in cm/s).

Answer 1

Please find the answer below:

Keeping in view that; two particles a and b of masses 3 kg and 2 kg are connected by a light inextensible string. The particles are in contact with the smooth faces of a wedge dce of mass 10 kg resting on a smooth horizontal plane.

When the system is moving freely, the acceleration of the wedge (in cm/s) is 40cm/s²

Answer 2

Explanation:

When the system is moving freely, the acceleration of the wedge (in cm/s) is 40cm/s²
