Question:

Two crates, A and B, sit at rest side by side on a frictionless horizontal surface. The crates have masses mA and mB. A horizontal force F is applied to crate A and the two crates move off to the right.
(a) Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for crate A and for crate B. Indicate which pairs of forces, if any, are third-law action-reaction pairs.
(b) If the magnitude of force F is less than the total weight of the two crates, will it cause the crates to move? Explain.
