A block of mass mm 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=8kg,M=16kgm = 8kg, M = 16kg
Assume all the surfaces shown in the figure to be frictionless.

A block of mass m slides on the wooden wedge, which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. The acceleration

Options

  1. A35g\dfrac{3}{5}g
  2. B43g\dfrac{4}{3}g
  3. C65g\dfrac{6}{5}g
  4. D23g\dfrac{2}{3}g

Correct answer

D. 23g\dfrac{2}{3}g

Step-by-step solution

A block of mass m slides on the wooden wedge, which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. The acceleration
