Question
Two particles start together from a point O and slide down along straight smooth inclined planes at 30o & 60o to the vertical & in the same vertical plane as in figure. The relative acceleration of second with respect to first will be (in magnitude & direction) as :


Options
A.
in the vertical direction
B.
at 45o with vertical
C.
inclined at 60o to vertical
D.
inclined at 60o to vertical
Solution

Resultant Acceleration =
tan α =
a = 30o
i.e. Resulting acceleration is in vertical direction.
