Question

Two workers push on a wooden crate. One worker push with a force of 543 N and the other with a force of 333 N. The mass of the wooden crate is 206 kg. What is the acceleration of the crate?

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=4.2524\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

two workers push a crate.

• Force by first worker, $F_1=543\ N$

• force by second worker, $F_2=333\ N$

• mass of crate, $m=206\ kg$

(Assuming that both the workers push in the same direction.)

We know that,

Acceleration is given as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{F_1+F_2}{m}$

$a=\frac{543+333}{206}$

$a=4.2524\ m.s^{-2}$
