4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
medium

Two masses of  $1\,kg$  and  $2\,kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in figure. A force of  $20\,N$  acts on the  $2\,kg$  mass at the instant when the $1\, kg$  mass has an acceleration of  $10\,ms^{-2}$  towards right, the acceleration of the $2\,\,kg$  mass is ......... $ms^{-2}$

A$2$
B$5$
C$10$
D$20$

Solution

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{a}_{2}$
[Newton's law for system]
$20=1 \times 10+2 \times a$
$a=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
