Detailed Solution

There is external force acting on the system of “A” and ‘B” in vertical direction, also ‘A’ has acceleration it means the centre of mass of system will also accelerate.

Question Image

2) when A reaches Q the acceleration of A is  v02R in frame of ‘B’ so acceleration of centre of mass will not be zero
3) From F.B.D of the block at Q
Nmg=mv02RN=mg+mv02R

So net normal force will be greater than combined weight
4) When ‘A’ is at Q acceleration of B is zero as no external force acts on the system in horizontal direction
