Two blocks of masses $$2$$ kg and $$1$$ kg are placed on a smooth horizontal table in contact with each other as shown fig. A horizontal force of $$3$$ newton isapplied on the first so that the block moves with a constant acceleration. The force between the blocks would be

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Let F be the force between the blocks and a their common acceleration. Then for $$2$$ kg block,$$3$$ $$-$$ F $$=$$ $$2a$$                                 … (1)For$$ $$1$$ kg block, F $$=$$ $$1$$ × a $$=$$ a    …$$(2)∴$$3$$ $$-$$ F $$=$$ $$2$$ For $$3$$ F $$=$$ $$3$$ or F $$=$$ $$1$$ newton.

Two blocks of masses 2 kg and 1 kg are placed on a smooth horizontal table in contact with each other as shown fig. A horizontal force of 3 newton is
