Question Image

Let c be acceleration of wedge C.
a be acceleration of block A w.r.t. wedge C.
b be acceleration of block. B w.r.t. wedge C.
Applying Newton's law in horizontal direction to system of A+B+C.

mc+mcacos37+mc+bcos53=0    ……(1)

Applying Newton's law to block A and B along the incline gives.

 In case of A:mgsin37=maccos37   …..(2)

 In case of B:mgsin53=mb+ccos53   …..(3)

Solving (1), (2), and (3), we get c = 0
