Two bodies have a mass ratio of 3\ :\ 4 The force applied on the bigger mass produces an acceleration of 12 . What could be the acceleration of the other body, if the same force acts on it.
Consider,
m_{1}, m_{2} - Masses of bodies
F_{1}, F_{2} - Forces acting on two bodies
{a_1}, {a_2} - Acceleration on the two bodies
Formula to find the force:
From the data given,
Masses of the bodies = m_{1}:m_{2} = 3 : 4
Force acting on two bodies are equal = F_{1} = F_{2}
So, the acceleration on the first body,
Substitute the given values,
Acceleration\ on\ the\ first\ body (a_1) = ms^{-2}
