Two identical wedges of mass M are smoothly conjugated . The wedges are free to move on a smooth horizonal surface, A block of mass m is releaded from a height h on one of the wedge (See fig 4E.9)
(a) Show that the height h to which the mass m ascends the right wedge is `h_(max)= (M_(2))/(M+m)^(2)h.`
(b) what mass ratio (M/m) results is `h_(max)=h//4`
