Question

Two bodies have masses in the ratio 3 : 4. when a force is applied on the body, it moves with an acceleration of 3 metre per second square
How much accleration will the same force produced in the other body?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the two masses as 3x and 4x respectively.Given acceleration of first body as 6.

F=m×a

F=3x×6=18x

As we are applying same force for the second body,

18x=4x×a

⇒a=18/4=4.5m/s

.

Hence acceleration is 4.5m/s
