Question

A small cubical block of mass m is placed on a triangular block M so that they touch each other along a smooth inclined plane as shown. The inclined surface makes an angle $θ$ with the horizontal. A horizontal force F is to be applied on the block m so that the two bodies move without slipping against each other. Assuming the floor to be smooth also, which of the following statement(s) is/are CORRECT?

N cos θ = m g F − N sin θ = ma N = cos θ m g ​ a = m + M F ​ F = ma + N sin θ F = m + M m F ​ + cos θ m g ​ sin θ F × m + M M ​ = m g tan θ F = M m g ( m + M ) tan θ ​
