ln the figure shown 'P' is a plate on which a wedge B is placed and on B a block A of mass m is placed. The plate is suddenly removed and system of B and A is allowed to fall under gravity. Neglecting any force due to air on A and B, the normal force on A due to B is

a
mgcos θ
b
mg cos θ
c
zero
d
2mgcos θ

detailed solution

Correct option is

F.B.D. of block AApplying Newton's second law for block A in vertical directionmAg-N cos θ = 0where θ is the angle of the wedge⇒N cos θ = 0as θ < 900           ∴ N= 0
