Not what you're looking for?
A 3.0-kg and a 5.0-kg box rest side-by-side on a smooth, level floor. A horizontal force of 32 N is applied to the 3.0-kg box pushing it against the 5.0-kg box, and, as a result, both boxes slide along the floor. How large is the contact force between the two boxes?
Choices:
12 N
20 N
32 N
