12) Find the mass M if the hanging block shown in figure. Which will prevent the smaller block from slipping over the triangular block. All the surfaces are frictionless and the strings and the pulleys are light. ( 1 ) m + M 1 ( sin θ - 1 ) ( 2 ) m + M 1 ( cos θ - 1 ) ( 3 ) m + M 1 ( tan θ - 1 ) ( 4 ) m + m 1 ( co t θ - 1 ) Share with your friends Share 1 Vijay Shankar Yadav answered this Dear Student, Accelaratoin of the system=MgM+m+M1so according to question mgsin(θ)=m×MgM+m+M1×cos(θ)M=M1+mcot(θ)-1 Regard -1 View Full Answer
