A block of mass \(m\) is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination \(\theta\). The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block ( \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity) will be
- A \(m g \cos \theta\)
- B \(m g \sin \theta\)
- C \(m g\)
- D \(m g \sec \theta\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(m g \sec \theta\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given situation is shown in the following figure, The acceleration given to wedge to the left is \(a\). The block has a pseudo acceleration to the right, pressing against the wedge because of which the block does not move. In this case,…
