Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table masses 2m and m respectively as shown in figure. Force F is applied on mass 2m then system moves towards right. Now the same force F is applied on m. The ratio of force of contact between the two blocks will be in the two cases respectively.

Three masses of 15 kg. 10 kg and 5 kg are suspended vertically as shown in the fig. If the string attached to the support breaks and the system falls freely, what will be the tension in the string between 10 kg and 5 kg masses. Take g=10ms−2 . It is assumed that the string remains tight during the motion
