    Three identical bodies, each of mass m, are pushed by a force F on a frictionless table as shown in figure.

    A) Net force on X is F.

    B)        Force applied by X on Y is\[\frac{F}{3}\].

    C)        Force applied by Y on Z is equal to net force on X.

    D)        Net force on Y is equal to zero.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let a be the common acceleration, then \[F=3ma\,\,or\,\,a=\frac{F}{3m}\] Net force on \[X=ma=m\times \frac{F}{3m}=\frac{F}{3}\] Force applied by \[X\] on Y=(m+m)a\[=2m\times \frac{F}{3m}=\frac{2F}{3}\] Force applied by Y on Z \[=ma=m\times \frac{F}{3m}=\frac{F}{3}\]
