Answer
given,
mass of the = m₁ = 8.75 Kg
another mass of the object = m₂ = 14 Kg
distance between them = 50 cm
R₁ = 17 cm
R₂ = 50 -17 = 33 cm
a) Force applied due to the Mass 8.75 in +ve x- direction
Force applied due to mass 14 Kg in -ve x-direction
net force
F = F₁ + F₂
Using newton second law
b) As the acceleration of mass comes out to be +ve hence, the direction will be toward the mass of 8.75 Kg
