Three blocks of masses M1 = 2 kg, M2 = 10 kg, and M3 = 8 kg are placed on a frictionless, horizontal floor as shown. Two horizontal forces (Ff = 40 N and Fb = 117 N) are applied to blocks M1 and M3 so that the blocks accelerate. What is F3on2, the magnitude of the force that block M3 exerts on block M2?

The figure below shows a system of three blocks with masses m1 = 2 kg, m2 = 3 kg and m3 = 4 kg moving together over a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.1 under the influence of an applied force F = (18 N)i. Find the magnitude of the contact force that m1 exerts on m2. 7 N 12 N 14 N 18 N 20 N

Three blocks are in contact with each other on a frictionless, horizontal surface, as in Figure P5.56. A horizontal force $\mathbf{F}$ is applied to $m_{1} .$ If $m_{1}=2.00 \mathrm{~kg}, m_{2}=$ $3.00 \mathrm{~kg}, m_{3}=4.00 \mathrm{~kg}$, and $F=18.0 \mathrm{~N}$, draw a separate free-body diagram for each block and find (a) the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the resultant force on each block, and (c) the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks.
