A block is placed on the top of a smooth inclined plane of inclination 
kept on the floor of a lift.
When the lift is descending with a retardation 
, the block is released. The acceleration of the block relative to the incline is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
If lift is accelerating, reading will be more, if it is decelerating, reading will be less and if it is
moving with constant velocity, reading will be same.
Hence, the acceleration of the block relative to the incline is 
.
