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.
