Final answer:

To find the constant acceleration of block b under the action of force p, we need to use Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). If the blocks are separated and we want to give the second block, with a mass of 6.0 kg, the same acceleration as the system of blocks, we can use the same equation: F = ma.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant acceleration of block b under the action of force p, we need to use Newton's second law of motion: force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). In this case, the force acting on block b is given as 24 N and the mass of block b is not provided. Therefore, we cannot calculate the acceleration without knowing the mass.

If the blocks are separated and we want to give the second block, with a mass of 6.0 kg, the same acceleration as the system of blocks, we can use the same equation: F = ma. Rearranging the equation, we get a = F/m, where F is the force and m is the mass of the block. Substituting the given values, we get a = 24 N / 6.0 kg = 4.0 m/s². So, the force required to give the second block the same acceleration as the system of blocks would be 24 N.
