Mass of the body A, m1 = 10 kg, mass of the body B, m2 = 20 kg, Horizontal force = 600 N

Total mass of the system, m =m1 + m2 = 30 kg

From the relation F = ma, we get a = 600 / 30 = 20 m/s2

(i) When the force is applied on A

F – T = m1a or T = F - m1a = 600 – 10 *20 = 400 N

(ii) When the force is applied
