Detailed Solution
The free body diagram of the block isThe acceleration of the block is in the right direction so the block will experience a pseudo force in the left direction as shown in the free body diagram.The block will start sliding on the wedge then friction force will act down the wedge.The condition when block will slide on the wedge ismacosθ⩾mgsinθ+μNFor minimum accelerationmacosθ=mgsinθ+μN……….(1)Now resolving the components of different forces acting on the blockN=mgcosθ+masinθ………(2)macosθ=mgsinθ+μN………(3)On solving the equations (2) and (4)⇒a(cosθ−μsinθ)=g(sinθ+μcosθ)⇒a=g(sinθ+μcosθ)(cosθ−μsinθ)
