In the adjoining figure, the coefficient of friction between wedge (of mass `M`) and block (of mass `m`) is `mu`.
Find the minimum horizontal force `F` required to keep the block stationary with respect to wedge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This problem can be solved with or without using the concept of pseude force. Let us solve the problem by both the methods.
`a=`acceleration of (wedge + block)in horizontal direction
`=(F)/((M+m)`
