A block of mass m is connected to another block of mass M by a spring (massless) of spring constant k. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force F starts acting on the block of mass M to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass m.

A

`(mF)/(M)`

B

`((M + m) F)/(m)`

C

`(mF)/((m + M))`

D

`(MF)/((m + M))`
