Answer 1

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Here,

F = 30 N

m1 = 8 kg

m2 = 2 kg

acceleration with which the system moves = a

force applied by 8 kg on 2 kg is = x

Then, F = Ma = (m1+m2) a

a = F / (m1+m2)

force applied by 8 kg on 2 kg makes the 2 kg block accelerate.

Hence,

x = m2*a

x = m2*F / (m1+m2)

x = (2*30) / (2+8) = 6N
