a. find a.
b. what would happen if the wedge were given greater acceleration?
Answer:
a) If the mass remains stationary, it means that the component of its weight down the wedge is balanced by the component of the force acting in the opposite direction (like an artificial gravity)
mgcos30 = acos60
2 x 9.8 x 0.866 = a x 0.5
a= 33.95 m/s^2
b) If the wedge were given greater acc, the body would move up the plane
Do your own homework. I'll only answer theoretical questions from now on, i'm not here to do your homework.
Have trouble understanding newton's laws and free body diagrams? Fine, lets talk about that.
