Two fixed frictionless inclined planes making an angle $30^\circ$ and $60^\circ$ with the vertical are shown in the figure. Two blocks $A$ and $B$ are placed on the two planes. What is the relative vertical acceleration of $A$ with respect to $B$?

  • A
    $4.9 \ m/s^2$ in horizontal direction
  • B
    $4.9 \ m/s^2$ in vertical direction
  • C
    $9.8 \ m/s^2$ in vertical direction
  • D
    Zero

$A$ block of mass $m$ is lying on a rough inclined plane having an inclination $\alpha = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{5})$. The inclined plane is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of $a = 2 \text{ ms}^{-2}$ as shown in the figure. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction,so that the block remains stationary with respect to the inclined plane,is (Take $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$):

$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts equal and opposite forces for the same time $t$ on each toy cart. If the coefficients of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the toy carts are equal,then the ratio of the displacements of the toy carts is:
