Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. One has mass $m$ and the other $2\,m$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on $2\,m$ as shown in the figure. Now,the same force $F$ is applied from the right on $m$. In the two cases respectively,what is the ratio of the contact force between the two blocks?

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    same
  • C
    $2:1$
  • D
    $1:3$
