Three blocks A, B and C, of masses 4   kg ,   2   kg 1   kg and respectively, are in contact on a frictionless surface, as shown. If a force of 14   N is applied on the   4   kg block, then the contact force between A and B is:
Options
- A2   N
- B6   N
- C8   N
- D18   N
Correct answer
B. 6   N
Step-by-step solution
( aligned & F=M a= (M_a+M_b+M_c ) a & 14=(4+2+1) a=7 a & a=2 aligned ) Let (F^ ) be the contact force between ( A ~ &~ ~B ), ( aligned & F-F^ =4 a & 14-F^ =4 a=4 2 & F^ =6 N aligned )
