In the figure given below, all surfaces are assumed to be smooth and the force F = 100N. If acceleration of block B of mass 20kg is 'a' and tension in string connecting block A of mass 20 kg is T then just after when the force F is applied.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
As there is no friction, horizontal force on B is therefore F = 100 N
a = 
= 5m/s 2 but no horizontal force on A acts therefore T = 0
