All surfaces are smooth. The acceleration of mass m relative to wedge is:

Figure shows a box of mass m is placed on a wedge of mass 'M' on a smooth surface. How much force 'F' is required to be applied on 'M' so that during motion 'm' remains at rest on its surface.

Two wooden blocks of masses M and m are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in figure. If a force P is applied to the system as shown in figure such that the mass m remains stationary with respect to block of mass M, then the magnitude of the force P is
