Find the force of interaction between the bodies as shown in fig. Blocks are in contact.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All the bodies move together along horizontal direction with an acceleration,
`a=([F_("horizontal")]_("net"))/(m_("total")) = (F cos theta)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3))`

By Newton's second law for block `m_(1)` ,
`N_(1)=m_(1)a = m_(1)((F cos theta)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3)))`
and for block `m_(2)`, we have `N_(2)-N_(1) = m_(2)a`
or `N_(2) = N_(1) + m_(2)a = N_(1)+m_(2)((F cos theta)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3)))`
and for block `m_(2)` we have `N-(2)-N_(1)=m_(2)a`
or `N_(2)=N_(1)+m_(2)a = N_(1)+m_(2)((F cos theta)/(m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3)))`
Here the force of interaction is of compressive nature.
Hence, `N_(2)=((m_(1)+m_(2))f cos theta)/((m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3)))`
We can caluculate the value of `N_(2)` by taking `m_(1) and m_(2)` together as system. From FBD of `'m_(1)+m_(2)'` as fig.
or `N_(2)=(m_(1)+m_(2))a=((m_(1)+m_(2))f cos theta)/((m_(1)+m_(2)+m_(3)))`.
