Question

When two perpendicular forces 8 N (X-
Direction)and 6 N (Y Direction) act on a body
of mass 5 kg, What is the magnitude and
direction of the acceleration of the body.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Resulting Magnitude: 10 N

Direction of acceleration : X-direction

Explanation:

Magnitude of the force coming in X direction = 8*5 = 40

Magnitude of the force coming in Y-direction = 6*5 = 30

Resulting magnitude = 40-30 = 10 in X direction
