Three identical 4.0-kg cubes sit on a horizontal frictionless surface. They are in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right. Then a force is applied to the left side of the left cube, causing all three cubes to accelerate to the right at 4.0 m/s 2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the right cube by the middle cube in this case? a. 16 N b. 32 N c. 24 N d. 19 N e. none of the above
