Answer by Martin Ueding for Moving wedge and pulley system
Part A$\mu$ large implies that the wedge does not move. Therefore the two forces on the small masses along their direction of movement are:$$F_1 = m_1 g, \quad F_2 = m_2 g \sin(\alpha).$$They pull in...

Moving wedge and pulley system
A wedge of mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of static friction $\mu$. The face of the wedge is a smooth plane inclined at an angle $ \alpha$ to the horizontal. A mass $m_1$...
