3.2 Normal Forces and Weight

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another.
The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force is applied to the left side of the left cube causing all
three cubes to accelerate to the right at 3.0 m/s 2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the
right cube by the middle cube in this case?
Select one:

a. 12 N

b. 18 N
