A block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass m. If a force P is applied at the free end of the rope, the force exerted by the rope on the block will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Acceleration of the system \(= \frac{P}{m + M}\)
The force exerted by rope on the mass \(= \frac{mP}{m + M}\)
