Q.

A block of mass  m1  lies on top of fixed wedge as shown in figure-1 and another block of mass  m2  lies on top of wedge which is free to move as shown in figure-2. 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 block in figure-1 and block in figure-2 respectively to just reach the horizontal surface, then
