Question 2

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor.
 
  Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes.
  (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes.
  (b) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0-kg box?
  (c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0-kg box?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

(a) The following forces act on the 5.0-kg box: the force due to gravity, normal force, contact force between 5.0-kg mass and 3.0-kg mass, the force of 50 N pushing on the box. The following forces act on the 3.0-kg box: the force due to gravity, normal force, contact force between the 5.0-kg box and the 3.0-kg box, the contact force between the 3.0-kg box and the 2.0-kg box. The following forces act on the 2.0-kg box: the force due to gravity, normal force, contact force between the 3.0-kg box and the 2.0-kg box.
(b) 25 N
(c) 10 N
