C. F/5M
D. F/3M
E. F/2M
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Since the table is frictionless, hence both the bodies will continue moving under the common force F
and will have same acceleration. Since it is brought out in the question that the smaller block is not
moving over the larger block hence, both the blocks will move as a combined body.
The situation above is shown below.
As both the bodies are moving together, hence, their combined mass becomes
M
total
= M + 4M
Or, M
total
= 5M
Common force acting on the bodies is F. Therefore, by Newton’s second law of motion we have
F = ma ------------- (1)
Where
F is the force applied;
m is the mass of the body;
a is the acceleration of both the blocks;
Mass of the body here is M
total
= 5M. Putting the values in equation 1 we get
F = 5M * a
Or, F/5M = a
Hence, with this acceleration both the smaller and the larger mass will move under the effect of
common force, F.
Therefore, C is the correct answer option.
