Block m is released and allowed to accelerate down the slant surface of wedge 2m. As it does so the wedge accelerates (of course) to the right. Chord C is a continuous cord, parallel to the slant surface in one part and horizontal in the other part. Assume forces concurrent on each body (i.e., one normal force under mass 2m, and one normal force between mass m and mass C 2m). Find the acceleration of the wedge, in terms of 0 and g (and m?). m 2m Hint: Note that m has two accelerations not at right angles; therefore, one of the accelerations will have to be resolved into Horiz. components. Check that you have found 5 forces on the wedge.
