Question

A body of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces 8 N and 6 N. Give the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the body.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Forces of 6N and 8N are perpendicular .

Hence , resultant Force =

$\sqrt{ } {6}^{2} + {8}^{2}$

=) 10 N

Now , mass = 5kg

Hence , Accleration = Force / mass = 10 / 5 = 2m/s² .
