$A$ block of mass $5 \ kg$ is kept against an accelerating wedge with a wedge angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wedge is $\mu = 0.4$. What is the minimum absolute value of the acceleration of the wedge to keep the block steady? Assume $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.

  • A
    $\frac{60}{7} \ m \ s^{-2}$
  • B
    $\frac{30}{7} \ m \ s^{-2}$
  • C
    $\frac{30}{\sqrt{7}} \ m \ s^{-2}$
  • D
    $\frac{60}{\sqrt{7}} \ m \ s^{-2}$
