Q.

A block of mass m lies on wedge of mass M, which lies on fixed horizontal surface. The wedge is free to move on the horizontal surface. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied on block as shown, neglecting friction at all surfaces, the value of force F such that block has no relative motion w.r.t. wedge will be: (where g is acceleration due to gravity)

Detailed Solution

For no relative motion between wedge and block, let the acceleration of both block and wedge be 'a' towards left.

Question Image

From FBD of block; Ncosθ=mg ...(i)
and FNsinθ=ma ...(ii)
From FBD of wedge; Nsinθ=Ma...(iii)
from equations (i), (ii) and (iii)

solving we get F=mM(M+m)gtanθ
