Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 33-N pushing force P→ is horizontal and is applied to the 24-kg box, which in turn pushes against the 62-kg box. Find the magnitude of the force F→ that the 24-kg box applies to the 62-kg box.

23.8 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the first box, m = 24 kg

Mass of the second box, M = 62 kg

Pushing force, F = 33 N

There is an acceleration, a in between the system and another force, f in between both blocks. Thus, we can say, using Newton's law

F - f = m.a

f = M.a

If we add both equations together, we have

F = m.a + M.a

F = (m + M) a

33 = (24 + 62) a, making a subject of formula, we have

a = 33 / 86

a = 0.384 m/s²

Recall, from the second equation,

f = M.a, now, if we substitute for both, we get

f = 62 * 0.384

f = 23.8 N

The magnitude of force the 24 kg applies to the 62 kg is 23.8 N

what is the question because that is not a question.

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
