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 mu the cube and the wedges, but a coefficient of static friction < 1 between the wedges and the floor. What is the largest M that can be balanced as shown without motion of the wedges?

  1. fraction numerator m over denominator square root of 2 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator mu m over denominator square root of 2 end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator 2 mu m over denominator 1 minus mu end fraction    
  4. All M will balance    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 2 mu m over denominator 1 minus mu end fraction

    An arrangement of the masses and pulleys is shown in the figure. Strings connecting masses A and B with pulleys are horizontal and all pulleys and strings are light. Friction coefficient between the surface and the block B is 0.2 and between blocks A and B is 0.7. The system is released from rest (use g = 10 m divided by s to the power of 2 end exponent).
