A boy is pushing three 10 kg boxes across a floor with the coefficient of friction between the boxes and the floor is 0.5. the boys applied force is 300n. calculate the force and direction that box 2 exerts on box 3. I don't know how I should go about doing this. I know the equations, but I don't know exactly how to order them, I'm pretty sure the answer is 100n. please help

I posted your question in mymathforum.com and this is the answer I was given.
I don't understand this type of thing but I am hoping it will make sense to you.
