In the figure shown,all surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block is $m = 1\, kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $a = 10\, m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Calculate the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $\sqrt{3}$ seconds. (Assume $\tan \theta = a/g = 1$,so $\theta = 45^\circ$)

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $100 \sqrt{3}$

$A$ block $B$ is placed on block $A$. The mass of block $B$ is less than the mass of block $A$. Friction exists between the blocks,whereas the ground on which the block $A$ is placed is taken to be smooth. $A$ horizontal force $F$,increasing linearly with time,begins to act on $B$. The acceleration $a_A$ and $a_B$ of blocks $A$ and $B$ respectively are plotted against $t$. The correctly plotted graph is
