Question

Forces of 5N and 6N are acting on a body at rest of mass 1000 Kg at an angle of 60° to each other find the acceleration of the mass

Answer 1

Answer:

9.539×10^-3 m/s²

Explanation:

resultant force = F

F = √(F1² + F2² + 2F1F2cosØ)

F = √(25+36+60cos60°)

F = √(61+30)

F = √91

F = 9.539 N

since F = ma

a =F/m

a = 9.539/1000

a = 0.00953

a = 9.539 × 10^-3 m/s²
