A block of mass $m$ slides down on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown in figure. Let $\vec a_1$ be the acceleration of the wedge and $\vec a_2$  the acceleration of block w.r.t. ground. $N_1$ is the normal reaction between block and wedge and $N_2$ the normal reaction between wedge and ground. Friction is absent everywhere. Select the incorrect alternative

822-454

  • A

    $N_2< (M + m)g$

  • B

    $N_1 = m ( g\, cos \theta\, -\, |\vec a_1| sin \theta ) $

  • C

    $N_1\  sin \theta = M| \vec a_1|$

  • D

    $m\ \vec a_2=\,-M\, \vec a_1$
