that actually helped, i was able to draw the right diagram for it
except, the formula at the end can be simplified a bit more
It would be: a=f/m2
Then combining it with your formula we have F-f = (m1/m2)*f
And finally f = (F*m2)/(m1+m2)
I checked and the results make sense, Thanks a lot!
hi, I am trying to figure out how to approach this question. i know its a relatively simple problem, but i just need to do the setup appropriately.
two blocks of m1=2 kg and m2=1 kg are in contact on a horizontal frictionless surface in the respective order, left to right. A force of F=3N is...
