Answer 2

Given,

Masses of the bodies=4kg and 5kg

Acceleration of the lighter body=2m/s²

To Find,

Acceleration  of the heavier body.

Solution,

Force on the bodies are equal.

So, Force of the heavier body=force of the lighter body

Then, mass of the lighter body=4kg

acceleration of the lighter body=2m/s²

So, force acted upon this=4kg×2m/s²

                                           =8N

So, now force on the heavier body=8N

Mass of the higher body=5kg

Acceleration of the heavier one will be=Force/mass

                                                                  =8/5

                                                                 =1.6m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the heavier body is 1.6m/s².
