Cool Mechanics Problem - (Solve for free T-shirt!)

Postby TalIsAwesome » Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:38 am

For those of us who enjoy a good Mechanics problem...

A block of mass m is held motionless on a frictionless plane of mass M and angle of inclination Theta. The plane rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block is then released. What is the horizontal acceleration of the plane?

Also, if anyone can tell me how to upload an image, it would probably make visualizing this problem a lot easier.
