To solve the problem step by step, we will use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a). ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Mass of the box (m) = 50 kg - Force applied (F) = 80 N ### Step 2: Use Newton's second law of motion According to Newton's second law: ...

A man of mass 80kg pushes a box of mass 20kg horizontally. The man moves the box with a constant acceleration of 2m//s^(2) but his foot does not slip on the ground. There is no friciton between the box and the ground, whereas there is sufficient friction between the man's foot and the ground to prevent him from slipping. Assertion :- The force applied by the man on the box is equal and opposite to the force applied by the force applied by the box on the man. Reason :- Friction force applied by the ground on the man is 200N .
