Question

a body of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces of magnitude 8n and 6n find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=2ms-2

Explanation:

body of mass m is 5 kg  

R=√8²+[-16]² =√  64+36 =10N

θis angle made by force of 8 N

θ=tan −1  (−6/8)=−36.87  

 the negative sign indicates theta clockwise direction respect to the force of magnitude 8N

force is m X a

a=f/m=10/5=2ms−2
