Question

masses of two bodies are in the ratio of 3:4. A force is applied on first body and moves with 6 m/s². How much acceleration will produce the same force, if applied to other body?

Answer 1

Let the mass of 1st body be 3m

Mass of second body =4m

Therefore by F=MA

Force on first body(3m) will be-

F=3m x 6

F= 18m N

Now for finding acceleration of second body-

18m N=4m x a

4.5 = a

Hence acceleration of body is 4.5 m/s2
