A wedge of mass M = 16 kg slides down on frictionless slope of angle alpha = 27. A vertical massless rod is attached to the top of the wedge, while a mass m = 3 kg connected to the top of the vertical rod by a massless string, as can be seen in the figure. Ф =? m Φ g M α Find the angle phi (in degrees) between mass m and the wire and the vertical rod.
