What total mass is accelerated to the right by force F21 of block 1 on block 2? What total mass is accelerated to the right by force F32 of block 2 on block 3? Rank the blocks according to their accelerations, greatest first Rank forces F, F21, and F32 according to their magnitude, greatest first (use only the symbols > or =, for example F=F21>F32).
