        All the surfaces shown in figure are assumed to be frictionless. The block of mass m slides on the prism which in turn slides backward on the horizontal surface. Draw the free body diagrams of (a) block of mass m (b) prism

Answer:

(a)

F.D.B of the block of mass(m) \[{{N}_{1}}=\]Normal force by the inclined surface on the block. T = Tension in the rope shown. mg = Gravitational force due to the mass(m) shown \[{{N}_{1}}=\]Normal force by the block of mass (m) on the inclined surface. \[{{N}_{2}}=\]By the horizontal surface on the inclined block of mass(M) F.B.D of the pulley \[T,{{T}_{1}}\]of the tension in the ropes on either side of the pulley.
