Three masses of 16, 8, and 4 kg are placed in contact with each other as shown in fig. If a force of

140 N is applied on 4 kg mass, then force on 16 kg mass will be

a
140 N
b
120 N
c
100 N
d
80 N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The common acceleration of the system will be a=Fm1+m2+m3=14016+8+4 =14028=5m/s2∴Force on16kg mass=mass×acceleration16×5=80N.
