$A$ block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a massless spring of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially,the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force acting on the block of mass $m$.

  • A
    $\frac{MF}{m + M}$
  • B
    $\frac{mF}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{(m + M)F}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{mF}{m + M}$

Two masses $A$ and $B$,each of mass $M$,are connected by a massless spring. $A$ force $F$ acts on the mass $B$ as shown in the figure. If the mass $A$ starts moving away from mass $B$ with acceleration $a$,then the acceleration of mass $B$ will be:

$A$ small ball $B$ of mass $m$ is suspended with a light inelastic string of length $L$ from a block $A$ of the same mass $m$,which can move on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by an angle $\theta$ from the equilibrium position and then released. The maximum velocity of the block during the subsequent motion of the system after the release of the ball is
