Problem

Two blocks,

m_1 = 2\,\text{kg}

and

m_2 = 3\,\text{kg}

, touch each other on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force of

25\,\text{N}

is applied to

m_1

from the left. The magnitude of the tension (contact force) between the two blocks is a)

25\,\text{N}

10\,\text{N}

15\,\text{N}

16.7\,\text{N}
