Question:

A block of mass ‘m’ is connected to another block of mass ‘M’ by a spring (massless) of spring constant ‘k’. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force ‘F’ starts acting on the block of mass ‘M’ to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass ‘m’

Options :

  • (a) mF/M
  • (b) (M+mF)/m
  • (c) mF/(m+M)
  • (d) MF/(m+M)

Answer :

(c) mF/(m+M)
