A block A of mass M rests on a wedge B of mass 2M and inclination θ. There is sufficient friction between A and B, so that A does not slip on B. If there is no friction between B and ground, the compression in spring is

a
Mgcosθk
b
Mgcosθsinθk
c
Mgsinθk
d
zero

detailed solution

Correct option is D

On M, horizontal components of N and f  are balanced (as Mg is vertical). Hence, on 2M also, they will be balanced.∴ Horizontal force kx on 2M should be zero.
