A bead of mass M can slide on a thin vertical rod,with sliding friction coefficient between them=z. The rod is translated horizontally with a constant acceleration (a). For what value of (a) will an earth observer see equal horizotal and vertical components of acceleration of the bead?

since the bead is sliding down its vertical acceleration is g. & this acceleration has no horizontal component. the rod is moving with an acceleration of a. therefore the bead will also have a horizontal acceleration of a.therefore when vertical acceleration equals horizontal acceleration, a=g.
