Question

a block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass m a forces applied at the free end of the rope find the force exerted by the rope on the block​

Answer 1

Answer:

force=mass*acceleration

Explanation:

so force needed to keep the rope from falling and touching the ground

=m*9.81

and force needed to move the block

=M*9.81

Either we add these two forces to get 9.81*(m+M)

or if we think of the question

force cannot be "exerted by the rope on the block " :-)
