  1. A \(\frac{M_p}{M_p+M_Q}\)
  2. B \(\frac{M_Q F}{M_p+M_Q}\)
  3. C \(\frac{M_\rho F}{M_Q}\)
  4. D \(\frac{M_Q F}{M_p}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{M_Q F}{M_p+M_Q}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(a\) be the common acceleration of system of blocks on application of force \(F\). Free body diagram of block \(P\) and \(Q\) are given as Hence, for block \(P, F-R=M_P a\) For block \(Q, R=M_Q a\) Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get…
