A block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass m. A force F is applied at one end of the rope. The work done by the rope on the block is:
AFs
B[M/(M+m)]Fs
C[m/(M+m)]Fs
DZero
✓ Correct Answer: B — [M/(M+m)]Fs
Acceleration a = F/(M+m). Tension on block = Ma = MF/(M+m). Work = Tension * s = [MF/(M+m)]s.
