    Two blocks A and B, having masses m, and m respectively, are placed in contact on a smooth horizontal surface. A force F is applied horizontally on A. The contact force between A and B is

    A)  \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}F\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}}F\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}F}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]        

    D)         \[\frac{{{m}_{2}}F}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     We know that the forces gets distributed in the direct proportion of the masses. So force acting on block of mass\[{{m}_{2}}\], must be equal to force per unit mass times the mass of block\[2\].             \[=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}g}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{9\times 10}{10}=9\,\,N\]
