Two boxes are at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. The boxes are in contact with
one another. If bor 1is pushed with a force of magnitude F =12.00N,the contact force between the
boxes is 8.50N; if,instead, box 2is pushed with the force F,the contact force is 3.50N.In either case, the boxes move together with an acceleration of 1.70m/s .
What is the mass of (a)box 1and (b)box 2?
