Two blocks of masses 40 kg and 20 kg are connected by a wire that has a linear mass density of 1 g m-1. These blocks are being pulled across horizontal frictionless floor by horizontal force F that is applied to 20 kg block. A transverse wave travels on the wave between the blocks with a speed of 400 m s-1 (relative to the wire). The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the blocks. The magnitude of F is
