Question
Two bodies have a mass ratio of 3:4 The force applied on the bigger mass produces an acceleration of 12 ms-2. What could be the acceleration of the other body, if the same force acts on it.

Solution
Mass ratio of the bodies = 3: 4 and the same force is (m1: m2) acting on the body
and a2 = 12 ms-2
∴ m1a1 = m2a2
`"m"_1/"m"_2` = `"a"_2/"a"_1` ⇒ `3/4` = `"a"_2/"a"_1`
a1 = `4/3`x 12 = 16ms-2
