उत्तर
Free-body Diagram of the Small Block of Mass 'm'
The block is at equilibrium w.r.t. to wedge. Therefore,
mg sinθ = ma cosθ
⇒ a = gtanθ
Normal reaction on the block is
N = mg cosθ + ma sinθ
Putting the value of a, we get:
N = mg cosθ + mg tanθsinθ
\[N = mg\cos\theta + mg\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\sin\ \theta N=\frac{mg}{\cos\theta}\]
