Question

Solve the folllowing problem 

Block m is released and allowed to accelerate
down the slant surface of wedge 2m. As it does
so the wedge accelerates (of course) to the right.
Chord C is a continuous cord, parallel to the
slant surface in one part and horizontal in the
other part. Assume forces concurrent on each
body (i.e., one normal force under mass 2m, and
one normal force between mass m and mass
2m).
Find the acceleration of the wedge, in terms of 0
and g (and m?).
C
m
2m
Hint: Note that m has two accelerations
not at right angles; therefore, one of the
accelerations will have to be resolved into
Horiz.
components. Check that you have found 5
forces on the wedge.
