find acceleration of wedge A=?

findaccelerationofwedgeA=?

Answered by mr W last updated on 07/Dec/24

A=acceleration of M (←)  a_x =acceleration of m (→)  a_y =acceleration of m (↓)  N=contact force between M and m  N sin α=MA=ma_x   ⇒a_x =((MA)/m)  ⇒N=((MA)/(sin α))  mg−N cos α=ma_y   a_y =g−((MA cos α)/(m sin α))  tan α=(a_y /(a_x +A))=((g−((MA cos α)/(m sin α)))/(((MA)/m)+A))  ⇒A=((g sin α cos α)/((M/m)+sin^2  α))=((g sin α cos α)/(((M/m)+1)−cos^2  α))

A=accelerationofM()ax=accelerationofm()ay=accelerationofm()N=contactforcebetweenMandmNsinα=MA=maxax=MAmN=MAsinαmgNcosα=mayay=gMAcosαmsinαtanα=ayax+A=gMAcosαmsinαMAm+AA=gsinαcosαMm+sin2α=gsinαcosα(Mm+1)cos2α

yes right, i remember the result too.

yesright,iremembertheresulttoo.

in case of a rolling object, the  acceleration of wedge should be  smaller than this. so the result in  your video  A=((g sin α cos α)/((3/2)((M/m)+1)−cos^2  α)) with rolling  cyclinder is by trend right.
