Two bodies of masses 4 kg and 5kg are acted upon by the same force. If the acceleration of lighter body is `2m//sec^(2)`, then the acceleration of the heavier body is:-

A

`4.2 m//s^(2)`

B

`3.6 m//s^(2)`

C

`2.4 m//s^(2)`

D

`1.6 m//s^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`a_(1)=(m_(2))/(m_(1))a_(2)=(4)/(5)xx2=1.6m//s^(2)`
