Blocks of mass 2 kg and 3 kg are in contact on a frictionless horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 10 N is applied to the 2 kg block. The contact force between the blocks is
A. 5 N
B. 4 N
C. 6 N
D. 10 N
A. 5 N
B. 4 N
C. 6 N
D. 10 N
Best answer
Answer: C. 6 N
\(a=\frac{10}{5}=2\) m/s2; force on 3 kg block \(=3\times2=6\) N.
