List all the forces acting on the block B in figure (4-Q2).
In fig. we have two blocks, A and B. The boy pushes block A which lies next to block B
Hence, the boy applies force on block B also.
Now, when the boy pushes block A, the following forces acts –
1. A pair of action-reaction forces between the man and block A.
2. Weight of the man, block A and block B as action forces on the ground in the downward direction.
3. Reaction of the ground on the man, block A and block B in the upward direction to balance their weights.
4. A pair of electromagnetic forces between the blocks B and the Earth.
5. A pair of gravitational forces between the blocks B and the Earth.
6. A pair of gravitational forces between the blocks A and B.
7. A pair of electromagnetic forces between the blocks A and B.
