Two blocks A and B of mass mA and mB res...

Two blocks A and B of mass `m_A and m_B` respectively are kept in contact on a frictionless table. The experimenter pushes the block A from behind so that the blocks accelerate. If the block A exerts a fore F on the block B, what is the force exerted by the experimenter on A?

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the blocks We have two blocks A and B with masses \( m_A \) and \( m_B \) respectively. The experimenter applies a force \( F' \) on block A. Block A exerts a force \( F \) on block B. ### Step 2: Write the equation of motion for the system Since both blocks are in contact and on a frictionless surface, they will accelerate together. The total mass of the system is \( m_A + m_B \). The net force acting on the system is \( F' \), which causes the acceleration \( a \). ...
