The two blocks A and B are at rest in the position shown.
Given is the angle : γ = 28°
If the acceleration of block A is aA=5 m/s² to the
left, what is the value of the acceleration of block B and in which
direction ?
NOTE : Block B will stay in touch with the wall and will not rotate.
HINT :
For block A take the distance between the wall and its left
edge as variable describing the location of block A
For block B take the distance between its lower left point
and the floor as a variable describing the location of block B.
Find the geometric relationship between these two variables and differentiate.
