SOLUTION
Wedge A. since the wedge is constrained to move
on the horizontal surface , its acceleration aA is
horizontal. We assume it is directed to the right.
Block B. the acceleration aB of the block B can be
expressed as the sum of the acceleration of A and
acceleration of B relative to A. Thus, we have
aB = a A + aB A
Fy = mB a y = mB (− a A sin 30) :
N1 - mB gcos30° = - ( mB ) aA sin30° (3)
( ) (
aB A = 1.545m s2 cos30° + 9.81m s2 sin30° )
aB A = 6.24 m s2

SOLUTION
The systems shown is initially at rest. Neglecting axle friction and the
masses of the pulleys, determine (a) the acceleration of block A, (b)
the velocity of block A after it has moved through 3 m, (c) the time
required for block A to reach a velocity of 6 m/s.
