A horizontal force is applied to a block as shown in figure. The mass of blocks and are and , respectively. The blocks slide over a frictionless surface. The force exerted by block on block is:

- Azero
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
First, find the common acceleration () of the system:
The force exerted by block on block (let's call it ) is the net force that causes block to accelerate:
The force exerted by block on block (let's call it ) is the net force that causes block to accelerate:
