A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block (g is acceleration due to gravity) will be

HARD
IMPORTANT

Two cubes of masses   m 1 and   m 2 be on two frictionless slopes of block A which rests on a horizontal table. The cubes are connected by a string which passes over a pulley as shown in the figure. To what horizontal acceleration f should the whole system (that is the blocks and cubes) be subjected so that the cubes do not slide down the planes? What is the tension of the string in this situation?
