$A$ wedge $Y$ with mass of $10 \text{ kg}$ has all frictionless surfaces,and the inclined surface makes an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. $A$ block $X$ with mass $2 \text{ kg}$ is placed at the highest point of the wedge as shown in the figure and is at rest. At $t=0$,the wedge $Y$ is pulled toward the right with a constant force $f$ of $24 \text{ N}$. Taking the block $X$ at rest at $t=0$,the time taken by it to slide down $8.8 \text{ m}$ on the slope,while $Y$ is in motion,is . . . . . . s.
