In the arrangement shown in figure, the rod of mass `m` held by two smooth walls, remains always perpendicular to the surface of the wedge of mass `M`. Assuming all the surface to be frictionless, find the acceleration of the rod and that of the wedge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let acceleration of `m` be `a_(1)` (absolute) and that of `M` be `a_(2)` (absolute).
Writing equations of motion only in the direction
For `m` `mg cos prop -N =ma_(1)` …(i)
For `M`. `N sin prop = ma_(2)` …(ii)
