[moderator note: Thread title changed to make it descriptivie of the problem] Homework Statement A particle having mass m and charge q is released at the origin in a region in which magnetic field and electric field are given by B= -B' j and E= E' k where j and k are unit vectors along y-axis...

Common acc. of the masses = (M+m)acom=max ax= gsinxcosx Therefore, acom=mgsinxcosx\(M+m) Now, Tanx= h\BC BC=h\tanx Let the triangular block be displaced by x when the smaller block reaches the bottom end Since there is no external force Therefore, Rcomi=Rcomf M(BC/2) = M(BC/2 - x) + m(BC -x)...

I'm sorry I do not know how to type using latex. Hope , these two images are clear enough.

Common horizontal acc. of the blocks= (M+m)a= ma_x

Yes, that is acc. of the triangle as well as the block.

Homework Statement A block of mass m is placed on a triangular block of mass M, which in turn is placed on a horizontal surface as shown. Assume frictionless surfaces. Find the speed of triangular block when the small block reaches the bottom end, Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution...

Homework Statement A block of mass m is placed on a triangular block of mass M which in turn is placed on a horizontal surface. Assuming friction less surfaces find the velocity of the triangular block when the smaller block reaches the bottom end.The angle of inclination of the plane is...
