A smooth wedge A is fitted in a chamber hanging from a fixed ceiling near the earth’s surface. A block B placed at the top of the wedge takes a time T to slide down the length of the wedge. If the block is placed at the top of the wedge and the cable supporting the chamber is broken at the same instant, the block will
As the rope breaks the pseudo force acting on the block cancels out the force of gravity since both will have same magnitude but opposite in the direction. Thus, option C is correct.
