Question
Two blocks of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. If we apply a push of $5 \mathrm{~N}$ on the heavier mass, the force on the lighter mass will be(a) $2 \mathrm{~N}$(b) $4 \mathrm{~N}$(c) $5 \mathrm{~N}$(d) none of these
Step 1
We have two blocks, one with mass \( m_1 = 4 \, \text{kg} \) and the other with mass \( m_2 = 2 \, \text{kg} \). A force \( F = 5 \, \text{N} \) is applied to the heavier block. Show more…

Two blocks of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $6 \mathrm{~kg}$ are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. If we apply a push of $5 N$ on the heavier mass, the force on the lighter mass will be (a) $5 N$ (b) $4 N$ (c) $2 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) None of the above
Two blocks of masses of $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface in contact with each other. A horizontal force of $3 \mathrm{~N}$ is applied on $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ block so that the system moves with a constant F acceleration. Then the force between the blocks is (a) $3 \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $2 \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $1 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) $0.5 \mathrm{~N}$
Three blocks $A, B$, and $C$, of masses $4 \mathrm{~kg}, 2 \mathrm{~kg}$, and $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ respectively, are in contact on a frictionless surface, as shown. If a force of $14 \mathrm{~N}$ is applied on the $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ block, then the contact force between $A$ and $B$ is (a) $8 \mathrm{~N}$. (b) $2 \mathrm{~N}$. (c) $18 \mathrm{~N}$. (d) $6 \mathrm{~N}$.
