A block of mass \(m\) is placed atop another block of mass \(M,\) and the combination is at rest on a smooth horizontal table. A force \(F_1\) is applied to \(m\) and another force \(F_2\) is applied to \(M,\) the two acting horizontally and in opposite directions. Consider the following statements about the acceleration \((a_{cm})\) of the centre of mass of the system).
