Question

Three blocks, each having a mass of 1.06 kg, are connected by rigid rods of negligible mass and are supported by a frictionless surface. Forces F1 and F2, of magnitude 5.30 N and 10.6 N respectively, are applied to the ends of the blocks as shown in the figure below. Find the forces acting on block B (the +x direction is to the right). The magnitude of the force applied by the rod on the left is 5.3 N Correct: Your answer is correct. and is in the Correct: Your answer is correct. x direction. The magnitude of the force applied by the rod on the right is 3.68 N Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. and is in the Correct: Your answer is correct. x direction.

Explanation / Answer

acceleration =net force /mass = 10.6-5.3/3.18

=1.67m/s^2
