Newton's laws of motion

Question

Two masses of 10 kg and 20 kg respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in figure. A force of 200 N acts on the 20 kg mass at the instant when the 10 kg mass  has an acceleration of 12 ms-2 towards right, find the acceleration of the 20kg mass in ms-2

Moderate
Solution

 Force on 10kg block Kx=ma=12×10=120N

So

a=8020=4m/s2
