Q17169.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 30 Aug 2018, Shift 1Hard

A wooden block of mass m1 kg accelerates at 10 m/s² when a force of 5 N acts on it. Another block of mass m2 kg accelerates at 20 m/s² when the same force acts on it. If both the blocks are tied together and the same force acts on their combination, the acceleration will be about:

  1. A.6.67 m/s²
  2. B.1.67 m/s²
  3. C.5.67 m/s²
  4. D.4.67 m/s²
Show answer
