Two Objects of Differing Masses (ma,mb)\left( m _ { a } , m _ { b } \right)

Question 17

Multiple Choice

Two objects of differing masses (ma,mb) \left( m _ { a } , m _ { b } \right) are placed at the top of two frictionless inclines having the same height. Mass mam _ { a } is on an incline that makes an angle of 1515 ^ { \circ } with the horizontal; mass mbm _ { b } is on an incline that makes an angle of 7575 ^ { \circ } with the horizontal. The masses are released at the same time. The mass that has the greater acceleration along the incline is:


A) mam _ { a }
B) mbm _ { b }
C) Both masses have the same acceleration.
D) This cannot be determined unless both masses ( ma,mbm _ { a } , m _ { b } ) are known.
