Hey guys, I'm a university freshman @ NTU, Singapore, Computer Engineering course . Yet, I'm really into physics, especially klassical ones . Ok, a few days ago, a hiskool student asked me a question, I must say that I'm really stuck in this dilemma! . Give it a try if you guys can, Thanks!
Question: Two wedges of the same mass M, same shape and height h are laid movable on the floor. A mass m is put on the top of wedge 1; it is let to slide down wedge 1 and go up wedge 2. Calculate the maximum height mass m can reach wedge 2 in terms of m, M and h, suppose that the surfaces are perfectly frictionless.
