Q.

A block of mass m1 lies on the top of fixed wedge as shown in Fig. (a) and another block of mass m2 lies on top of wedge which is free to move as shown in Fig. (b). At time t = 0, both the blocks are released from rest from a vertical height h above the respective horizontal surface on which the wedge is placed as shown. There is no friction between block and wedge in both the figures. Let T1 and T2 be the time taken by the blocks, respectively, to just reach the horizontal surface. Then

Detailed Solution

In first case, acceleration of m1 will be a1=g sin θ down the inclined plane. In second case, acceleration of m2 w.r.t. incline is

        a2=m2g sin θ+m2a cos θm2  a2=g sin θ+a cos θ

Since a2>a1, so T2<T1
