Motion of Block in Contact is considered one the most difficult concept.
5 Questions around this concept.
A block of mass m is connected to another block of mass M by a spring ( massless ) of spring constant K . The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane.Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched Then a constant force F starts acting on the block of mass M to pull it. Find the force of the block of mass m.
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Use } F_{n e t}=m a \\ & a=\frac{F_{n e t}}{m_1+m_2}\end{aligned}$
When 2 Blocks are in Contact
$\begin{aligned} & F-f=m_1 a \\ & f=m_2 a \\ & a=\frac{F}{m_1+m_2} \\ & f=\frac{m_2 F}{m_1+m_2}\end{aligned}$
When 3 Blocks are in Contact
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Use } F_{n e t}=m a \\ & a=\frac{F}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ & f_1=\frac{\left(m_2+m_3\right) F}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ & f_2=\frac{m_3 F}{m_1+m_2+m_3}\end{aligned}$
