A block P of mass M_P is in contact with another block Q of mass M_Q as shown in the fígure and they are placed on a smooth floor. Force on block Qis
Options
- AM_p M_p+M_Q
- BM_Q F M_p+M_Q
- CM_ F M_Q
- DM_Q F M_p
Correct answer
B. M_Q F M_p+M_Q
Step-by-step solution
If a be the common acceleration of system of blocks on application of force F . Free body diagram of block P and Q are given as Hence, for block P, F-R=M_P a For block Q, R=M_Q a Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get F= (M_P+M_Q ) a M_P+M_Q Force on block Q is given as R=M_Q a=M_Q F M_P+M_Q = M_Q F M_P+M_Q
