A plank is held at an angle `alpha` to the horizontal on two fixed supports A and B. The plank can slide against the supports (without friction) because of the weight Mg `sin alpha`. The acceleration and direction in which a man of mass m should move so that the plank does not move are

A small disc of mass m slides down a smooth hill of height h without initial velocity and gets onto a plank of mass M lying on the horizontal plane at the base of the hill. (figure).
