$A$ long plank $P$ of mass $5\, kg$ is placed on a smooth floor. On $P$ is placed a block $Q$ of mass $2\, kg$. The coefficient of friction between $P$ and $Q$ is $0.5$. If a horizontal force $15\, N$ is applied to $Q$,as shown,and you may take $g$ as $10\, N/kg$,then which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The reaction force on $Q$ due to $P$ is $10\, N$.
  • B
    The acceleration of the centre of mass of the $P + Q$ system relative to the floor is $(15/7)\, m/s^2$.
  • C
    The acceleration of $P$ relative to the floor is $2.0\, m/s^2$.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.
