Question:
$\text{As shown in the figure, two masses of } 10 \text{ kg and } 20 \text{ kg, respectively are connected by a massless spring. A force of } 200 \text{ N acts on the } 20 \text{ kg mass. At the instant shown, the } 10 \text{ kg mass has an acceleration of } 12 \text{ m/s}^2 \text{ towards the right. The acceleration of } 20 \text{ kg mass at this instant is:}$
Options:
  • 1. $12 \text{ m/s}^2$
  • 2. $4 \text{ m/s}^2$
  • 3. $10 \text{ m/s}^2$
  • 4. $\text{zero}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: The spring force will be the same on both blocks.}$ $\text{Step 1: Find the magnitude of the spring force.}$ $\text{For the 10 kg block, applying Newton's second law:}$ $f_s = ma = 10 \times 12 = 120 \text{ N}$ $\text{Step 2: Find the acceleration of 20 kg block.}$ $\text{For the 20 kg block, the net force equation is:}$ $F - f_s = ma$ $200 - 120 = 20a$ $\Rightarrow a = 4 \text{ m/s}^2$ $\text{Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.}$
