Free body diagram for block A:

 
Forces on block A are:

(i)  WA = Weight of the block, acting downward.
(ii)  nA = Normal reaction force from surface, acting vertically upward.
(iii) F­applied = Applied force
(iv) FBA = Force exerted on A by the block B.
 
Free body diagram for block B:
 
Forces on block B are:
 
(i)  WA = Weight of the block, acting downward.
(i)  nA = Normal reaction force, acting vertically upward.
(ii) FAB = Force exerted by A on B.
 
Free body diagram for the system of both blocks:
 
 
Resultant forces on both the system are:
(i)  nsystem = Total reaction force from the surface.
(ii)  Wsystem = Total weight of the system, acting downward.
(iii)  Fapplied  = Applied force
