NEET 2018 Physics Inclined Planes MCQ Question
A block of mass m is placed on a smooth inclined wedge ABC of inclination θ as shown in the figure. The wedge is given an acceleration ‘a’ towards the right. The relation between a and g for the block to remain stationary on the wedge is
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For the block to remain stationary, the net force along the incline must be zero. This condition gives the relation between the acceleration of the wedge and gravitational acceleration.
