A block of mass is placed on a smooth inclined wedge ABC of inclination as shown in the figure. The wedge is given an acceleration towards the right. The relation between and for the block to remain stationary on the wedge is

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the block.Consider the block of mass on the inclined plane with inclination The wedge is accelerating to the right with acceleration For the block to remain stationary relative to the wedge, the net force parallel to the incline must be zero.Let's analyze the forces:• The gravitational force component along the incline is • The normal force acts perpendicular to the incline.• The pseudo force due to the acceleration of the wedge acts horizontally to the left with magnitude Resolve the pseudo force along the incline:• The component of the pseudo force along the incline is For the block to remain stationary, the net force along the incline must be zero:Rearrange to find the relation between and Therefore, the correct option is Option 4:
