a

Acceleration of ‘m’ is  g2+a2sinθ

b

Acceleration of ‘m’ relative to wedge is gsinθ-acosθ

c

Force on the wedge exerted by external agent is Ma+msinθgcosθ+asinθ

d

Force on the wedge exerted by the ground is  M+mcos2θg+masinθcosθ

Question Image

The acceleration of block w.r.t wedge is given by 

ar=gsinθacosθ

The net acceleration is the resultant of the acceleration of wedge and acceleration of block w.r.t wedge

anet =a2+ar2+2aarcosθ=a2+(gsinθacosθ)2+2a(gsinθacosθ)cosθ=a2+g2sin2θ+a2cos2θ2gasinθcosθ+2gasinθcosθ2a2cos2θ

Question Image

=a2+g2sin2θa2cos2θ=a2+g2sinθ

Also N=mgcosθ+masinθ

N1=Mg+Ncosθ=Mg(mgcosθ+masinθ)cosθ=Mg+mgcos2θ+masinθcosθ

FextNsinθ=Ma

Fext=Ma+(mgcosθ+masinθ)sinθ=Ma+mgsinθcosθ+masin2θ
