Question

A drop of water of mass M is on the sloping hood of a car. The hood is at an angle θ with respect
to the horizontal and accelerating to the right, as shown in Fig. 2(b). Consider that the air resistance and friction
between the water droplet and the hood of the car can be neglected. As the car accelerates the drop moves
with the car, but does not move up or down on the hood. (a) Draw the free-body diagram with the
forces acting on the drop of water indicating the direction of acceleration. (b) Choose a coordinate axis (x and y)
and apply Newton's second law to the drop. (c) Given the quantities given and the gravity g, find
the normal acting on the drop and the acceleration of the car.
