Problem

Two blocks, C (

1.5\,\text{kg}

) and D (

2.5\,\text{kg}

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

12\,\text{N}

pushes block C toward block D, and the blocks accelerate together. Which of the following is closest to the magnitude of the force that block D exerts on block C? a)

4.5\,\text{N}

8.0\,\text{N}

6.0\,\text{N}

12\,\text{N}
