Questions  

A wedge of mass m is pushed with a speed v0 on a rough horizontal plane. The angle of friction between the wedge and horizontal plane is ϕ. The angle of inclination θ of the pendulum is 

a
ϕ
b
90∘−ϕ
c
tan−1⁡mMtan⁡ϕ
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Since frictional force acts on the block, its deceleration is μg. So in the frame of wedge, a pseudo force μmg acts on the block and it is inclined at angle θ=ϕ with vertical.
