Given:

The velocity of center of mass changes from v_{1} =  4i \frac{m}{s} to v_{2} = 3j \frac{m}{s} in 2 seconds.

Mass of the system = 10 kg

To Find:

Constant force acting on the system

Solution:

Second Law of motion:

The second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied.

F = \frac{dM}{dt}

Initial momentum = M_{1} = mv_{1}

Final momentum = M_{2} = m v_{2}

F = \frac{m (v_{1} - v_{2} )}{t_{2} -t_{1} } \\

put the velocities in their vector form.

F = \frac{10(4i - 3j)}{2} \\F = 20i - 15j

Constant force acing on the system is 20i - 15j .
