Question

in it? 9. Two blocks of mass m2 = 1 kg and m2 = 2 kg are placed in contact on a frictionless horizontal surface. A force of 10 N is acting on mı. What is the acceleration produced in m, and my? m2 m F​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Net force on the system(m

1

+m

2

=3kg) is F=12N so the common acceleration will be a=

3kg

F

=4m/s

2

When we consider m

2

we notice that only horizontal force on it is T so it should produce

an acceleration 4m/s

2

in m

2

so that it can move together with m

1

so 4m/s

2

=

m

2

T

ot T=4m/s

2

×2kg=8N
