Question
Two blocks of masses M1 and M2 are connected to each other through a light spring as shown in figure. If we push mass M1 with force F and cause acceleration a1 in right direction mass M1, what will be the magnitude of acceleration in M2?
Options
A.F/M2
B.F/(M1 + M2)
C.a1
D.(F − M1a1)/M2
Solution
F − kx = m1 a1 [Newton′s II law for M1]
kx = m2a2 [Newton′s II law for M2]
By adding both equations.
F = m1a1 + m2a2 ⇒ a2 =
