Question
Two wedges, each of mass m, are placed next to each other on a flat floor. A cube of mass M is balanced on the wedges as shown. Assume no friction between the cube and the wedges, but a coefficient of static friction 
between the wedges and the floor. What is the largest M that can be balanced as shown without motion of the wedges?
- All M will balance
