Block Sliding Down a Frictionless Movable Wedge

A wedge ABC of mass $M$ and height $h$ has an inclined surface AC with an angle $\theta$. A small object of mass $m$ is placed at the top A and slides down from rest. All contact surfaces are frictionless. Find:

  1. The displacement of $M$ when $m$ slides from the top to the bottom.
  2. The acceleration of $M$ relative to the ground, $a_1$, while $m$ is sliding.
  3. The acceleration of $m$ relative to $M$, $a'_2$.
  4. The acceleration of $m$ relative to the ground, $a_2$.
  5. The interaction force $N$ between $m$ and $M$.
  6. The normal force $R$ between $M$ and the table.
