A block of mass \(m\) slides on the wooden wedge, which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. The acceleration of the block with respect to the wedge is : Given \({m}=8 \,{kg}, {M}=16\, {kg}\) Assume all the surfaces shown in the figure to be frictionless.

- A \(\frac{4}{3} {g}\)
- B \(\frac{6}{5} g\)
- C \(\frac{3}{5} {g}\)
- D \(\frac{2}{3} g\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{2}{3} g\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let acceleration of wedge is \(a_{1}\) and acceleration of block w.r.t. wedge is \(a_{2}\) \({N} \cos 60^{\circ}={Ma}_{1}=16 {a}_{1}\) \(\Rightarrow {N}=32 {a}_{1}\) F.B.D. of block w.r.t wedge \(\perp\) to incline…
