Neet Solved Paper 2015 Question 4

Question: Three blocks A, B and C of masses 4 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg respectively, are in contact on a 1 frictionless surface, as shown. If a force of 14 N is applied on the 4 kg block, then the contact force between A and B is

Options:

A) 2N

B) 6N

C) 8 N

D) 18 N

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Given, $ m _{A}=4kg $ So total mass (M) = $ 4+2+1=7kg $

Now, $ F=Ma\Rightarrow 14=7a\Rightarrow a=2m/s^{2} $

FED of block A, $ F=F’=4a\Rightarrow F’=14-4\times 2\Rightarrow F’=6N $
