For the mass m on the rotating wedge, as you think about resolving the forces into...

For the mass m on the rotating wedge, as you think about resolving the forces into components, ask yourself if you should tilt the axes parallel and perpendicular to the slope of the wedge, or leave your axes horizontal and vertical. Remember to look at the direction of the acceleration in determining whether or not you should tilt the axes. Then, when you apply Newton's Second Law in component form, you obtain which of the following equations?

a. Ncosθ - mg = 0 and Nsinθ = mv^2/r

b. N - mgcosθ = 0 and mgsinθ = mv^2/r

c. N - mg = 0 and N + mg = mv^2/r

d. Nsinθ - mg = 0 and Ncosθ = mv^2/r

I thought the answer was b. N - mgcosθ = 0 and mgsinθ = mv^2/r. But I was wrong could anyone help.
