Problem

Two blocks of masses

2.0\,\text{kg}

and

3.0\,\text{kg}

are in contact on a frictionless horizontal table. A constant

10\,\text{N}

horizontal force is applied to the

2.0\,\text{kg}

block, pushing the pair to the right. Calculate the magnitude of the normal contact force that the

3.0\,\text{kg}

block exerts on the

2.0\,\text{kg}

block.
