Detailed Solution
Taking blocks B and C as a system, Nsin30∘=mB+mCa0(leftward).Here, N is normal reaction between A and C.From free body diagram of block B in the frame of block C. mBgsin30∘=mBa0cos30∘∴ a0=103m/s2From free body diagram of block A in the frame of block CN+mAa0sin30∘=mAgcos30∘or mB+mCa0sin30∘+mAa0sin30∘=mAgcos30∘or 3×103×2+mA×1023=mA×10×32∴mA=6kg
