A rough wedge of mass M is free to move on a smooth horizontal plane as shown in figure-5.69.The uniform cylinder of mass m is placed on the wedge and it begins to roll down without slipping . Show that the acceleration of cylinder on the surface of wedge is given as
`a = (2g "sin"theta(m + M))/(m + 3M + 2msin^(2)theta)`
