Find the reaction of the wedge in Problem 3.6, provided that the coefficient of friction between the wedge and the table is u, and the friction between the rod and the wedge can be neglected. 3.6. A rod of mass m2 rests on a wedge of mass m1 (Fig. 3.6 a). Thanks to the limiters, the rod can only move along the ordinate axis, and the wedge can only move along the abscissa axis. Find the accelerations of both bodies and the reaction of the wedge. Ignore friction.
