In the figure shown the acceleration of A is 
= 15 
+ 15 
, then the acceleration of B is (A remains in contact with B) –
A
6 
B
–15 
C
–10 
D
–5 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
From wedge constraint
(a A ) 1 = (a B ) 1
a Ax cos 53 0 – a Ay cos 37 0 ⇒ a B cos 53
0 a B
= – 5 m/s
= –5
