When the same force F is applied to a mass of m2, what is the ratio m1 / m2 as the object gains an acceleration of 12 m / s2?A) 2B) 3C) 5D) 4E) 1arrow_forwardA chain of three monkeys is hanging vertically from a tree branch. Each monkey has a mass of 12 kg. What is the magnitude of the force that monkey #2 exerts on monkey #1? Now monkey #1 pulls the other two upwards with a constant acceleration of 2.50 m/s2. As before, the mass of each monkey is 12 kg.
