JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 1st September Evening Shift - No. 6)

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 = 16 kg Assume all the surfaces shown in the figure to be frictionless.

$${4 \over 3}g$$
$${6 \over 5}g$$
$${3 \over 5}g$$
$${2 \over 3}g$$

Explanation

Let acceleration of wedge is aw and acceleration of block w.r.t. wedge is ab

For the wedge w.r.t. ground

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 68 English Explanation 1
N cos60$$^\circ$$ = Maw = 16aw

$$\Rightarrow$$ N = 32aw

F.B.D. of block w.r.t. wedge

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 68 English Explanation 2
Balancing vertical forces

N = 8g cos30$$^\circ$$ $$-$$ 8aw sin30$$^\circ$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ 32aw = 4$$\sqrt 3 $$g $$-$$ 4aw

$$\Rightarrow$$ aw = $${{\sqrt 3 } \over 9}$$g

Along incline plane

8g sin30$$^\circ$$ + 8aw cos30$$^\circ$$ = mab = 8ab

ab = g $$\times$$ $${1 \over 2} + {{\sqrt 3 } \over 9}$$g . $${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} = {{2g} \over 3}$$

Option (d)
