Question

Two blocks of masses m₁ and m₂ (m₁ > m₂) in contact with each other on frictionless, horizontal surface. If a horizontal force F is given on m , set into motion with acceleration a, then reaction force on mass m₁ by m₂, is –

(a) \(\frac{Fm_1}{m_1 + m_2}\)

(b) \(\frac{m_1m_2}{Fm_1}\)

(c) \(\frac{m_1m_2}{Fm_2}\)

(d) \(\frac{Fm_2}{m_1 + m_2}\)

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) \(\frac{Fm_2}{m_1 + m_2}\)
