Problem

Two blocks of masses

m_1=2\,\text{kg}

and

m_2=3\,\text{kg}

are in contact on a horizontal, frictionless table. A constant horizontal force of

10\,\text{N}

is applied to

m_1

, pushing the pair to the right. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two-block system? a)

3.3\,\text{m/s}^2

2.0\,\text{m/s}^2

1.0\,\text{m/s}^2

5.0\,\text{m/s}^2
