Three boxes, A, B, and C, are placed on a frictionless surface as shown in the diagram below. If you push on box A with a force of 8.25 N, find the contact force (in N) between each pair of boxes. Here mA = 5.85 kg, mB = 3.75 kg, and mC = 1.50 kg. contact force between A and B N contact force between B and C N

Three blocks are in contact with one another on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in the figure below. A horizontal force F→ is applied to m1, where m1 = 1.90 kg, m2 = 3.73 kg, m3 = 4.92 kg, and F = 20.0 N. (Take the +x-direction to be to the right. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Find the acceleration of the blocks. (Enter your answer in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2 (b) Find the net force on each block. (Enter your answers in N. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) F1,net = N F2,net = NnF3,net = N (c) Find the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks (in N). P12 = N P23 = N

Three blocks with masses, m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 2 kg, and m3 = 4.0 kg, are pulled to the right across a horizontal frictionless surface by a constant force, F = 48 N, that acts on the large block as shown in the figure. Two of the blocks, m1 and m3, are connected by an ideal rope while the smallest block, m2, is sitting directly in front of m1 as shown. Take right as the positive direction. Version One. (a) Find the acceleration of the system? m/s2 (b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the rope between m1 and m3. N (c) What is the magnitude of the normal (contact) force between m1 and m2 ? N Version Two. What if block m2 was placed on top of block m1 instead of in front of it? (a) What would be the acceleration of the system and tension in the rope if m2 and m1 stuck together? a = m/s2 T = N (b) What if the blocks were made of ice so that m2 and m1 didn't stick together? At what rate would each block accelerate? a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 a3 = m/s2 a3 = What would be the tension in the rope?
