A horizontal force 10 N is applied to a block A as shown in figure. The mass of blocks A and B are 2 kg and 3 kg, respectively. The blocks slide over a frictionless surface. The force exerted by block A on block B is [2024]

(3)
Common acceleration of the system,
Let R be the contact force between 2 kg and 3 kg blocks.
The free body diagram of 2 kg block is shown in the figure.

The equation of motion is,
So, the force exerted by block A on B = 6 N
