Homework Statement
A block of mass m is held in place on a ramp of mass M with a slope of angle θ, which in turn is held in place as shown in the figure below. The ramp is free to move on the surface beneath it. There is no friction anywhere. The block and the ramp are then released. Derive an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the ramp. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g. Assume SI units.)
