What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the middle cube by the left cube in this case?

75.0 N

Two blocks are at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface with a compressed spring between them. The 15.0-kg block accelerates when the string holding the system in compression is cut and the 30.0-kg box accelerates in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the force from the expanding spring on the 30.0-kg box when the 15.0-kg box is undergoing an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2?

23 N

Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 9.0 kg are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 9.0-kg mass is another light string, which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two-block system accelerates at 0.80 m/s2, what is the tension in the second string attached to the 9.0-kg mass?

17 N

Two blocks, joined by a string, have masses of 3.0 and 4.0 kg. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A second string, attached only to the 4.0-kg block, has horizontal force = 40 N applied to it. Both blocks accelerate. Find the tension in the string between the blocks.

1.3 m/s2

Two ropes are attached to a 50-kg object. The first rope applies a force of 35 N and the second, 55 N. If the two ropes are perpendicular to each other, what is the resultant acceleration of the object?
