Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor

Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes. (b) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0-kg box? (c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0-kg box?
