A triangular wedge of mass M lies on a smooth horizontal table with half of its base projecting out of the edge of the table. A block of mass m is kept at the top of the smooth incline surface of the wedge and the system is let go. Find the maximum value of `(M)/(m)` for which the block will land on the table. Take `theta = 60^(@)`.
