Three connected blocks A, B, C are being pulled to the right on the frictionless horizontal surface by a constant force of 15 N. Block A with mass of 15 kg is counted as the first block, block B with unknown mass is counted as the second block, and block C with mass of 10 kg is counted as the third block. The tension in the cord that connects blocks B and C is 5 N. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for block B. (b) Find the mass of block B. (c) What is the tension in the cord that connects blocks A and B?
