consider the following system, where f =
90 n, m= 2 kg, and m = 3 kg
m
m
what is the magnitude of the force with
which one block acts on the other?
1.54 n
2. 90 n
3. 60 n
4. 36 n
5. 135 n
6. none of these

The magnitude of the force with which one block acts on the other is 90 N.

The given parameters;

According to Newton's second law of motion, action and reaction are always equal and opposite. Each object will exact equal force but in opposite direction.

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the force with which one block acts on the other is 90 N.

The contact force is equal to 36N. (Option 4)

Why?

Since there is no information about the direction of the force, I'll assume that the force is horizontal, acting from left to right, and the  and the blocks are next to the other.

Calculations:

Let be the block "M" be on the left, and "m" be on the right,

So,

For the block "m", we have:

For the block "M", we have:

Substituting "a" from the first equation, we have:

Hence, we have that the contact force is equal to 36N.

Have a nice day!

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day
