Two blocks of masses 1 kg and 2 kg are placed in contact on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in fig. A horizontal force of 6N is applied on a 1-kg block. Find the force of interaction of the blocks.

A

`4N`

B

`5N`

C

`10N`

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since both the blocks are in contact, therefore, they move together with an acceleration
`a=(F_("net"))/(M_("Total"))=(6)/(2+1)=2 ms^(-2)`
