Two blocks m(1) and m(2) are allowed to ...

Two blocks `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are allowed to move without friction. Block `m_(1)` is on block `m_(2)` and `m_(2)` slides on smooth fixed incline as shown. The angle of inclination of inclined plane is `theta`

The acceleration of `m_(1)` with respect to ground is:

A

`((m_(1)+m_(2))g sin^(2)theta)/(m_(2)+m_(1)sin^(2)theta)`

B

`((m_(1)+m_(2))g sin^(2)theta)/(m_(1)+m_(2)sin^(2)theta)`

C

`((m_(1)+m_(2))g sin^(2)theta)/(m_(2)-m_(1)sin^(2)theta)`

D

`((m_(1)+m_(2))g sin ^(2)theta)/(m_(1)-m_(2)sin^(2)theta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


`m_(1)g-N_(1)=m_(1)a_(1)` ….(i)
`(N_(1)+m_(2)g)sin theta=m_(2)a_(2)` ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
`[(m_(1)g-m_(1)a_(1))+m_(2)g]sin theta=m_(2)a_(2)`
`(m_(1)+m_(2))g sin theta-m_(1)a_(1)sin theta=m_(2)a_(2)` ....(iii)
Block `m_(1)` can move only in vertical direction as there is no force in horizontal direction. Since acceleration along normal at point of contact of the block and wedge should be equal.
So, `a_(1)=a_(2) sin theta` ...(iv)
