Object: calculating forces
hello everyone,
i have one box inside another box
I was wondering, if I place those on some vehicle is possible to
calculate the force at which box B that is inside pushes on the other
box A, obviously in oposite direction
thanks

No horizontal force unless the vehicle is accelerating then it's just f=ma.

When the car accelerates, and the boxes don't slide, the whole system can be
regarded as a rigid body with acceleration a. The force corresponding to
this is Ft = mt * a (mt is total mass). When we look at the interface
between box A and B, the total force that is needed to prevent sliding must
be FB = mB * a (mB is mass of box B) or if you wish FB = mB / mt * Ft. The
action force from box A onto box B produces its acceleration, and the
equally large reaction force of B onto A produces a shear stress inside box
A. You are right that this (reaction force) is in the opposite direction as
the acceleration.
