A block of mass slides on the wooden wedge, which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. The acceleration of the block with respect to the wedge is : Given m=8kg, M=16kg.
Assume all the surfaces shown in the figure to be frictionless.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
