Two boxes are at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. The boxes are in contact with one another. If box 1 is pushed with a force of magnitude F = 12.6 N, the contact force between the boxes is 9.00 N; if, instead, box 2 is pushed with the force F, the contact force is 3.60 N. In either case, the boxes move together with an acceleration of 1.80 m/s Part A What is the mass of box 1? ν ΑΣφ mi = kg Submit Request Answer Part B What is the mass of box 2?
