QUESTION:

(III) Three blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are in contact with each other, as shown in Fig. $4-51$ . A force $\vec{F}$ is applied to block $A$ (mass ${m}_{A })$ . (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block. Determine $(b)$ the acceleration of the system (in terms of ${m}_{A},{m}_{B}$ , and ${m}_{C}),(c)$ the net force on each block, and $(d)$ the force of contact that each block exerts on its neighbor. $(e)$ If ${m}_{A}={m}_{B}={m}_{C}=12.0\ kg$ and $F=96.0\ N$ , give numerical answers to $(b),(c)$ , and $(d)$ . Do your answers make sense intuitively?

ANSWER:

Solution 33P

Step 1 of 6

In this problem for we need to find (a) Draw the free body diagram for the three blocks. (b) To find the acceleration of the system. (c) To find the net force on each block. (d) To find the force of contact of each block exerting on its neighbour. (e) solve for numerical values in part(b), © and (d).
