A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of mass M and inclination angle θ. The wedge rests on a smooth horizontal surface. Find the horizontal force F that must be applied to the wedge so that the block remains stationary relative to the wedge.

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion is called:

A box of mass 15 kg is kept on the floor of a stationary trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the trolley is 0.12. To keep the box stationary relative to the trolley, the maximum horizontal acceleration (in m/s2) with which the trolley can move is: (g = 10 m/s2)
