A weightless inextensible rope rests on a stationary wedge forming an angle `alpha` with a horizontal One end of the rope is fixed to the wall to point A.A small load is attached to the rope at point `B` The wedge starts moving to the right with a constant acceleration a The acceleration of the load is given by
.

A

a

B

`2a sin alpha`

C

`2a sin (alpha)/(2)`

D

`g sin alpha`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Net acceleration of load
`=2 a cos ((pi-alpha)/(2))=2 a sin ((alpha)/(2))`
