Let a be the acceleration of wedge leftwards and ar be the relative acceleration of block down the plane. Then, absolute acceleration of block in horizontal direction will be ar cosθ - arightwards.F¯horizontal  = 0    a¯horizontal  = 0

  ar cosθ - a = a

or    2a = ar cosθ            ...1

N sin θ = ma               ...ii

Net force on block perpendicular to plane is zero.

So, N + masin θ = mgcos θ               ...iii

On solving eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

ar = 2g sinθ1+sin2θ

Question Image

For block, ay = ar sinθ = 2g sin2θ1+sin2θ

aCOM=m0+m2g sin2θ1+sin2θm +m = g sin2θ1+sin2θ
