$${find}\:{acceleration}\:{of}\:{wedge}\:{A}=? \\ $$

A=acceleration of M (←)  a_x =acceleration of m (→)  a_y =acceleration of m (↓)  N=contact force between M and m  N sin α=MA=ma_x   ⇒a_x =((MA)/m)  ⇒N=((MA)/(sin α))  mg−N cos α=ma_y   a_y =g−((MA cos α)/(m sin α))  tan α=(a_y /(a_x +A))=((g−((MA cos α)/(m sin α)))/(((MA)/m)+A))  ⇒A=((g sin α cos α)/((M/m)+sin^2  α))=((g sin α cos α)/(((M/m)+1)−cos^2  α))
$${A}={acceleration}\:{of}\:{M}\:\left(\leftarrow\right) \\ $$$${a}_{{x}} ={acceleration}\:{of}\:{m}\:\left(\rightarrow\right) \\ $$$${a}_{{y}} ={acceleration}\:{of}\:{m}\:\left(\downarrow\right) \\ $$$${N}={contact}\:{force}\:{between}\:{M}\:{and}\:{m} \\ $$$${N}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha={MA}={ma}_{{x}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}_{{x}} =\frac{{MA}}{{m}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{N}=\frac{{MA}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha} \\ $$$${mg}−{N}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha={ma}_{{y}} \\ $$$${a}_{{y}} ={g}−\frac{{MA}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}{{m}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{{a}_{{y}} }{{a}_{{x}} +{A}}=\frac{{g}−\frac{{MA}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}{{m}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha}}{\frac{{MA}}{{m}}+{A}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}=\frac{{g}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}{\frac{{M}}{{m}}+\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha}=\frac{{g}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}{\left(\frac{{M}}{{m}}+\mathrm{1}\right)−\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha} \\ $$

yes right, i remember the result too.
$${yes}\:{right},\:{i}\:{remember}\:{the}\:{result}\:{too}. \\ $$

in case of a rolling object, the  acceleration of wedge should be  smaller than this. so the result in  your video  A=((g sin α cos α)/((3/2)((M/m)+1)−cos^2  α)) with rolling  cyclinder is by trend right.
