Question
Body U with mass 5m is stacked on the top body W with
mass m, and released. The bodies are in contact along the
frictionless interface at 45 to the vertical. The body U is
in contact with the frictionless vertical wall. Body W lies
on the floor with coefficient of friction u. Relevant
h
dimensions are shown in the figure. Express the results in
U: 5m
terms of given quantities: m, g, h and µ (except when u is
given numerically).
You need not evaluate sin 45° = cos 45° = 2/2.
