Question
A light inextensible string connects a block of mass m and top of wedge of mass M. The string is parallel to inclined surface and the inclined surface makes an angle 
with horizontal as shown in the figure. All surfaces are smooth. Now a constant horizontal force of minimum magnitude F is applied to wedge towards right such that the normal reaction on block exerted by wedge just becomes zero. The magnitude of acceleration of wedge is
- g tan
- g cot
- g sin
- g cos
The correct answer is: g cot
