Two blocks of masses m 1 and m 2 are connected to each other with the help of a spring. If pushing force is given to mass m 1 providing acceleration a to it, then acceleration of m 2 is
A
B
C
a
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The force on mass m 1 is
F 1 = m 1 a and force on m 2 is F 2 = m 2 a'
but F = F 1 + F 2 = m 1 a + m 2 a'
∴ ∴ a' =
