Answer:

a = 1 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the person = 60 Kg

Net External force exerted = 90 N

force of friction opposing the motion = 30 N

acceleration of the box = ?

Net force = External force applied - frictional force

Net force = 90 - 30

net force = 60 N

we know

F = mass x acceleration

60 = 60 x a

a = 1 m/s²

acceleration of the box is equal to a = 1 m/s²
