Question -

A block of mass m is moving on a wedge with the acceleration `a_0`. he wedge is moving with the acceleration `a_1`. The observer is situated on wedge . The magnitude of pseudo force on the block is :

Options:

A . `ma_0`

B . `ma_1`

C . `msqrt(a_0^2 + a_1^2)`

D . `m((a_1 + a_0)/(2))`

Answer: Option B

The magnitude and direction of pseudo force depends upon acceleration of reference frame in which observer is situated . It does not depend upon direction and magnitude of acceleration of the block .

So, (B) is correct.
