To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the mass on the inclined plane inside the rocket. The rocket is accelerating upwards with an acceleration of \(2g\), where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Mass:** - The mass \(m\) experiences gravitational force downward, which is \(mg\). - Due to the rocket's upward acceleration of \(2g\), the effective gravitational force acting on the mass becomes \(3g\) (since \(g + 2g = 3g\)). - The normal force \(N\) acts perpendicular to the inclined plane. ...
