The net force is what remains of the pull when we subtract the friction force:

Now, use the law

and solve it for the acceleration

to get the result:

X - the rate charged by the first mechanic
y - the rate charged by the second mechanic
The sum of the two rates was $155.

The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, the second mechanic worked for 5 hours, and together they charged $1000.

Set 155-x and 200-2x equal to each other:

The rate charged by the first mechanic was $45, and the rate charged by the second mechanic was $110.
8^2+15^2= 64+225=c^2
=289
=17
V= a^3
So in this case V= 6^3
V= 216
First one is 97
2nd one is 8000
