Question

A block of mass m is attached to a fixed position 'O' on a smooth inclined wedge of mass M. The block oscillates along the incline with amplitude A and angular frequency ω. The wedge is located on a rough horizontal surface of friction coefficient μ. Find the force of friction acting on the wedge if it always remains at rest.

Solution

The correct option is A 12mω2Asin(ωt+ϕ)
Force exerted by block along Incline plane
F=ma=mω2x=mω2Asin(ωt+ϕ)
Horizontal component of this force, so
f=Fcos60f=12mω2Asin(ωt+ϕ)
This force should be equal to friction force.
