A block of mass 19 kg rests on a wedge (θ = 25°) as shown in the figure below. The two objects move to the right in such a way that the block doesn't slide up or down the wedge. There is no friction between the block and the wedge. What is the acceleration of the two objects?

A 2.0-kg block slides on a frictionless 25? inclined plane. A force of 4.6 N acting parallel to the incline and up the incline is applied to the block. What is the acceleration of the block?

A block of mass M = 3.1 kg slides to the right with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.23 up a ramp inclined at an angle of 23º. The block is connected to a hanging block of mass m = 8.9 kg by a light cord that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. Since the blocks are connected, they must move together, therefore they will have the same magnitude of acceleration. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks?

Block $B$ of mass $10 \mathrm{kg}$ rests as shown on the upper surface of a $22-\mathrm{kg}$ wedge $A$. Knowing that the system is released from rest and neglecting friction, determine $(a)$ the acceleration of $B,(b)$ the velocity of $B$ relative to $A$ at $t=0.5 \mathrm{s}$.
