उत्तर
The free-body diagram of the system is shown below:
Block ‘m’ will have the same acceleration as that of M', as it does not slip over M'.
From the free body diagrams,
T + Ma – Mg = 0 ...(i)
T – M'a – Rsinθ = 0 ...(ii)
Rsinθ – ma = 0
Rcosθ – mg = 0
Eliminating T, R and a from the above equations, we get:
\[M = \frac{M' + m}{\cot \theta - 1}\]
