$A$ long plank $P$ of the mass $5\, kg$ is placed on a smooth floor. On $P$ is placed a block $Q$ of mass $2\, kg$. The coefficient of friction between $P$ and $Q$ is $0.5$. If a horizontal force $15N$ is applied to $Q$, as shown, and you may take $g$ as $10N/kg.$
  • AThe reaction force on $Q$ due to $P$ is $10N$
  • BThe acceleration of centre of mass of $P + Q$ system relative to the floor is $(15/7)m/s^2$
  • CThe acceleration of $P$ relative to the Floor is $2.0\, m/s^2$
  • DBoth $(B)$ and $(C)$
