Wedge of `10 kg` is free to move on horizontal surface. At the given instant, acceleration of wedge is (string and pulleys are ideal)

A

`2m//s^(2)` towards right

B

`2 m//s^(2)` towards left

C

`1 m//s^(2)` toeards left

D

`1 m//s^(2)` toward right

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Wedge of …………..
`FBD` of wedge

`T = F = 50 N`
`F cos 37^(@) - T cos53^(@) = 10.a`
`implies a =1 m//s^(2)`
