A block of mass m slides on the wooden wedge, which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. The acceleration of the block with respect to the wedge is: Given m = 8 kg, M = 16kg. Assume all the surfaces shown in the figure to be frictionless.

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

Suppose acceleration of wedge is a and acceleration of block w. r.t. wedge is a1 then N cos60° = Ma = 16 a -> N = 32 a

For block w.r.t. wedge

N + 8a sin 30° = 8g cos 30°

N = 8g cos 30° - 8a sin 30°

->32a = 8g cos 30° - 8a sin 30°

->a = 3 9 g  

Now for 8 kg,

8 g s i n 3 0 ° + 8 a c o s 3 0 ° = m a 1  

a 1 = g * 1 2 + 3 9 g * 3 2  


= 2 3 g

In first condition R1 = 36 Ω  

In second condition R2 = 18  Ω

P 1 = V 2 R 1 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 3 6               

P 2 = V 2 R 2 + V 2 R 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8 + ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8               

P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 9               

So   P 1 P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 3 6 ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 9 = 1 4
