Question

force of 5 Newton produce an acceleration of 8m/s on a mass mass 1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s what acceleration would the same force provide if the both mass are tied together

Answer 1

F = 5N
M1=?
M2=?
a1 = 8m/s^2
a2= 24m/s^2

M1 = f/a1

M1 = 5/8= 0.62

M2 = f/a2

M2 = 5/24 = 0.20

When both masses are tied together

M = M1 + M2

M = 0.62 + 0.20 = 0.82


A = F/M

= 5/0.82

= 6.09m/s^2

So same force will produce 6.09m/s^2 acceleration.



Thanks
