A constant force acts on two different masses independently and produces accelerations \(A_1\) and \(A_2\). When the same force acts on their combined mass, the acceleration produced is

  1. A \(A_1-A_2\)
  2. B \(A_1+A_2\)
  3. C \(\frac{A_1 A_2}{A_1+A_2}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\mathrm{A}_1^2+\mathrm{A}_2^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{A_1 A_2}{A_1+A_2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m_1 = \frac{F}{A_1}, m_2 = \frac{F}{A_2}\) \(F = (m_1+m_2)A\)
