A smooth inclined plane of angle of inclination 30^(@) is placed on the floor of a compartment of a train moving with a constant acceleration a. When a block is placed on the inclined plane, it does not slide down or up the plane. The acceleration a must be

Answer»

g
`(g)/(2)`
`(g)/sqrt(2)`
`(g)/sqrt(3)`

Solution :When the train is ACCELERATING in forward direction then reaction of this acceleration on block is in the backward direction
Then resolving `VECG` and `veca` into components
The block will stay at rest when a `COS theta = g sintheta`
`a=g tan theta`
`since theta = 30^(@) :. a=(g)/(sqrt3)` Hence correct choice is (d)
