(a) The force the spring exert on glider A  is 1.88 N.

(b) The force the spring exert on glider B is 2.82 N.

Acceleration of the spring

The acceleration of the spring is calculated as follows;

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 5.4 N / (0.15 kg + 0.4 kg + 0.6 kg0

a = 4.7 m/s²

force the spring exert on glider A

F(A) = ma

F(A) = 0.4 kg x 4.7 m/s²

F(A) = 1.88 N

force the spring exert on glider B

F(B) = 0.6 kg x 4.7 m/s²

F(B) = 1.88 N

F(B) = 2.82 N

Thus, the force the spring exert on glider A  is 1.88 N.

The force the spring exert on glider B is 2.82 N.
