You have two blocks, with respective masses of 8 kg and 12 kg sitting next to each other on a table. You decide to move them both together, and push on the 8 kg block with a net force of 120 N such that it pushes the 12 kg block along with it.

a. Find the acceleration for both blocks.

b. Will both blocks feel the same net force? Explain.

c. Draw a force diagram on the 8 kg block, and find a force equation for the horizontal forces acting on it.

d. Draw another force diagram on the 12 kg block, and find a force equation for the horizontal forces acting on it.

e. Explain how Newton's 3rd law applies to your answers in part C and D.
