Question

A force acts on a body of mass m1 and produce an acceleration a1. The same force when acting on a mass m2 produces acceleration a2. Define the relation between m1, m2, a1, a2.

Answer 1

F is same

F = m1a1 .......................(1)

and

F = m2a2......................(2)

solving (1) and (2)

m1a1 = m2a2

m1/m2 = a2/a1
