In Fig. 5-54a, a constant horizontal force `vec(F)_(a)` is applied to block A, which pushes against block B with a 15.0 N force directed horizontally to the right. In Fig. 5-54b, the same force `vec(F)_(a)` is applied to block B, now block A pushes on block B with a 10.0 N force directed horizontally to the left. The blocks have a combined mass of 12.0 kg. What are the magnitudes of (a) their acceleration in Fig. 5-54a and (b) force `vec(F)_(a)` ?
