Magnitude of force on Y Magnitude of acceleration of Y
A. m/M x F a
B. F ma/M
Magnitude of force on Y Magnitude of acceleration of Y
A. m/M x F a
B. F ma/M

Here,the force on the smaller block will be the reactional force exerted by the larger block on it and vice versa.
If,that force is
Given,its acceleration is
So,we can say,
For,the larger block,the reaction force by the smaller block is acting to cause its movements,but as there is no frictional force,it will also move,so we can write for it as,
Putting
or,
and,
