In the arrangement shown in figure, a block A of mass m has been placed on a smooth wedge B of mass M. The wedge lies on a horizontal smooth surface. Another block C of mass (M)/(4) has been placed in contact with the wedge B as shown. The coefficient of friction between the block C and the vertical wedge wall is mu= (3)/(4) . Find the ratio (m)/(M) for which the block C will not slide with respect to the wedge after the system is released?

The air of density rho and moving with a velocity v strikes perpendicular the inclined surface of area A and of a wedge kept on a horizontal surface. The mass of the wedge is m . Assuming the collisions to be perfectly inelastic, the minimum value of the coefficient of friction between the wedge and the ground so that the wedge does not move is (Assume mass of particles of air is negligible)
