A horizontal force 10N is applied to a block A as shown in figure. The mass of blocks A and B are 2 kg and 3 kg, respectively. The blocks slide over a frictionless surface. The force exerted by block A on block B is:

To solve this problem, we need to determine the force exerted by block A on block B.Given:⢠Force N applied to block A.⢠Mass of block A kg.⢠Mass of block B kg.Since the surface is frictionless, both blocks will accelerate together.First, calculate the total mass of the system:kg.Next, calculate the acceleration of the system using Newton's second law:m/sNow, calculate the force exerted by block A on block B.This force is responsible for accelerating block B.Using Newton's second law for block B:NTherefore, the force exerted by block A on block B is N.This corresponds to Option 1.
