(M+m)*g*tan(theta)
dont know how i got it but its right
A small block of mass m rests on the sloping side of a triangular block of mass M which itself rests on a horizontal table.
Assuming all surfaces are frictionless, determine the magnitude of the force ->F that must be applied to M so that m remains in a fixed position relative to M (that is, m doesn't move on the incline). [Hint: Take x and y axes horizontal and vertical.]
How would do this problem? Why take x and y axes horizontal and vertical?
