A block of mass ‘m’ is connected to another block of mass ‘M’ by a spring (mass less) of spring constant ‘k’. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is stretched. Then a constant force ‘F’ starts acting on the block of mass ‘M’ to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass ‘m’.

• (M+m)F/m

• mF/(m+ M)
