Two balls are placed as shown in Fig. on a "weightless" support formed by two smooth inclined planes each of which forms an angle `alpha` with the horizontal. The support can slide without friction along a horizontal plane. The upper ball of mass `m_(1)` i s released. Determine the condition under which the lower ball of mass `m_(2)` tarts "climbing" up the support.

cylinder and a wedge with a vertical face, touching each other, move along two smooth inclined planes forming the same angle alpha with the horizontal (Fig. ). The masses of the cylinder and the wedge are m_(1) and m_(2) respectively. Determine the force of normal pressure N exerted by the wedge on the cylinder, neglecting the friction between them.

A ball is projected form a point A on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle a to the horizontal. The velocity of projection makes an angle theta with the plane upwards.
