Detailed Solution
Let c be acceleration of wedge C.a be acceleration of block Aw.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+mc−acos37∘+mc+bcos53∘=0 ……(1)Applying Newton's law to block A and B along the incline gives. In case of A:mgsin37∘=ma−ccos37∘ …..(2) In case of B:mgsin53∘=mb+ccos53∘ …..(3)Solving (1), (2), and (3), we get c = 0
