3. A force of 36 N gives a mass m1 an acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. The same force gives a mass m2 an acceleration of 12 m/s2. What acceleration will this force give to m1 and m2 if the two masses are fastened together? {3.0 m/s2}
Answered by bobpursley
36=m1*4
36=m2*12

m1=9kg
m2=3kg

36=(9+3)a
a=36/12= 3m/s^2
