Homework Statement
three boxes are slid across a frictionless surface, 100N is applied to m1(mass1) which is pushed against m2 and m3 each box weighs 10 kg
a draw a free body diagram for each box
b find the acceleration of the system
c the net force on each block
d the force of contact that each block exerts on its neighbor
Homework Equations
[sigma]F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I have drawn my free body diagrams
then I set up my equation for part b
though I am not sure where to go from there I was hoping somone could show me how to do the rest of the problem with different values than the ones I was given, and explain how they did it so I can get a better grasp on what to do here..
{now since it is a frictionless surface and a normal force pushes back as much as is applied to it would the third objects normal force be 100 Newtons? If so then it would be really simple and turn out to bed
NF=ma
100=10a} <---I understand this is wrong...
I feel way off track?
Thanks for your insights
