In the figure shown $'P'$ is a plate on which a wedge $B$ is placed and on $B$ a block $A$ of mass $m$ is placed. The plate is suddenly removed and system of $B$ and $A$ is allowed to fall under gravity. Neglecting any force due to air on $A$ and $B$, the normal force on $A$ due to $B$ is

819-731

  • A

    $\frac{{mg}}{{\cos \,\theta }}\,$

  • B

    $mg\,\cos \,\theta $

  • C

    zero

  • D

    $\frac{{2mg}}{{\cos\, \theta }}\,$
