Answer the following questions:
Q1: Assume the three blocks portrayed in the figure below move on a frictionless surface and a \( 42-\mathrm{N} \) force acts as shown on the \( 3.0-\mathrm{kg} \) block. Determine (a) the acceleration given this system, (b) the tension in the cord connecting the \( 3.0-\mathrm{kg} \) and the \( 1.0-\mathrm{kg} \) blocks, and (c) the force exerted by the \( 1.0-\mathrm{kg} \) block on the \( 2.0-\mathrm{kg} \) block.
