A block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass m . If a force P is applied at the free end of the rope, the force exerted by the rope on the block is
Options
- APm M + m
- BPm M - m
- CP
- DPM M + m
Correct answer
D. PM M + m
Step-by-step solution
Since the displacement for both block and rope is same so, the acceleration must be same for both p =( m + M ) a a = P m + M T = M a = PM m + M
