Detailed Solution

[200][201]
A force of

5 N

causes a mass m1 to accelerate by

8 m / s^{- 2}

and a mass m2 to accelerate by

24 m / s^{- 2}

. Acceleration produced if both masses were connected is

6 m / s^{- 2}

.
Given that,

Force (F) = 5 N

Acceleration in m_{1} = 8 m / s^{- 2}

{Acceleration in m}_{2} = 24 m / s^{- 2}

Acceleration in {(m}_{1} + m_{2}) = ?

We know, F = m \times a

For first case:

5 = m_{1} \times 8

m_{1} = \frac{5}{8} kg

\Rightarrow 0.625 kg

As a result, the mass m1 is

0.625 kg .

In the second case:

5 = m_{2} \times 24

m_{2} = \frac{5}{24} kg

\Rightarrow 0.208 kg

In the third case:

m = m_{1} + m_{2}

\Rightarrow 0.625 + 0.208

\Rightarrow 0.833 kg

Using

F = m \times a

5 = 0.833 \times a

a = \frac{5}{0.833}

\Rightarrow 6 m / s^{2}
