4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A block can slide on a smooth inclined plane of inclination $\theta $ kept on the floor of a lift. When the lift is descending with an acceleration $'a'$ . Then the acceleration of the block relative to the incline is
A
$(g - a)\, sin\,\theta $
B
$(g\, -\, a)$
C
$g\, sin\,\theta $
D
$(g\, +\, a) sin\,\theta $
Solution
Let the acceleration of the block kept on an incline is $b$ and its mass is $m$. Since the lift is retarding downwards with a magnitude a, a pseudo force will be applied on the block in downward direction as shown in the fod. $(m a+m g) \sin \theta=m b$
$b=(a+g) \sin \theta$
