Task id16691

Find the reaction force in Problem 3.7, provided that the coefficient of friction between the wedge and the table is equal to u. Neglect the friction between the block and the wedge. 3.7. A block of mass m is placed on a wedge of mass M (Fig. 3.7 a). Find the acceleration of block a and wedge b in the reference frame associated with the table and the reaction force. Ignore friction. Analyze the limiting case when the wedge is stationary.
