A pair of wedges are located on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction (both sliding and static) between the wedges is μ, the coefficient of friction between the bottom wedge B and the horizontal surface is μ, and the angle of the wedge is θ. The mass of the top wedge A is m, and the mass of the bottom wedge B is M=2m. A horizontal force F directed to the left is applied to the bottom wedge as shown in the figure.
