Physics

To determine the interaction force between sled P and sled Q, we can follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Calculate the total mass and acceleration

Let:

Mass of sled P,

Mass of sled Q,

Applied force,

 

The total mass of the two sleds is:

 

The acceleration of the system can be calculated using Newton's Second Law:

 

Thus,
