NEET Physics Newton's Laws of Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Three blocks A, B and C of masses 4 kg, 2 kg and 1 kg respectively, are in contact on a frictionless surface, as shown. If a force of 14 N is applied on the 4 kg block then the contact force between A and B is

Question diagram
A

6 N

B

8 N

C

18 N

D

2 N

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The total mass is 7 kg, so the acceleration is 147=2 m/s2\frac{14}{7} = 2 \text{ m/s}^2. The force on B is 2×4=8 N2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ N}.
