Wedge of mass m and angle slides freely on horizontal plane

Reference no: EM13552969

A wedge of mass M and angle a slides freely on a horizontal plane. A particle of mass m moves freely on the wedge. Determine the motion of the particle as well as that of the wedge.

Description: the wedge is sliding towards its elevated end so that the particle can slide down the wedge.
