Homework Statement
A a block of ice with mass mA rests on a wedge of ice with mass mB=4.33 kg that is cut so that the surface of the wedge makes an angle of θ=38.1° with the ground. There is no friction between the pieces of ice or between the ice and the ground. At time t=0, the blocks are released from rest in the configuration shown. What is the acceleration of mA in the direction parallel to the ground (the x-direction indicated in the figure)? Express your answer in m/s2. No, you don't need to know the value of mA.
