A bowling ball of mass M1 = 6.0 kg is initially at rest on the sloped side of a wedge of mass M2 = 9.0 kg that is on a frictionless horizontal floor. The side of the wedge is sloped at an angle of θ = 36.9° above the horizontal.

a) With what magnitude of horizontal force should the wedge be pushed to keep the bowling ball at a constant height on the slope?


b) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the wedge, if no external force is applied?
