In the system shown, the initial acceleration of the wedge of mass is (there is no friction anywhere; the hanging block stays in contact with the vertical face of the wedge):

Question figure

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Let the wedge acceleration be (left) and the hanging mass acceleration (down).
The string constraint gives the top block a ground acceleration .
Equations
