MCQ

A block is kept on a fixed smooth wedge whose vertical section is a curve $y = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{\sqrt 3 }}$ as shown in figure where $x$ represents horizontal direction and $y$ represents vertical direction. When released from a point where $y = \frac{1}{{4\sqrt 3 }}$ , what will be its acceleration ? $(g \,= 10\, m/s^2)$ ....... $m/s^2$

A
$2.5$
B
$5\sqrt 3 $
✓
$5$
D
Can’t be determined

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$5$

c
$\frac{d y}{d x}=\tan \theta=\frac{2 x}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

acceleration along wedge

$=g \sin \theta=10 \cdot \frac{1}{2}=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
