![If a total force F is applied on a total mass m, the partial force F_i which is applied on a part of mass (m_i ) is F_i =(m_i /m)×F in our example we can also do like this: acceleration of (m+M) is a=((F−(m+M)g×sin θ)/(m+M)) Ma=F_(12) −Mg×sin θ ⇒F_(12) =M(g×sin θ+a)=M[g×sin θ+((F−(m+M)g×sin θ)/(m+M))] =(M/(m+M))×F](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q23413.png)
