Answer:
F = 32 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
F = forces applied [N] (units of Newtons)
m = mass = 40 [kg]
a = acceleration = 0.8 [m/s²]
Now replacing:
Answer:
b) 2.2 kg
Explanation:
Net force acting on an object is the sum of the two forces acting on the body.
The net force is calculated using the parallelogram law of vectors.
F =
Here A = 20 N , B = 35 N and θ =80°
Net Force = F = 43.22 N
Acceleration = a = 20 m/s/s
Since F = ma, m = F/a = 43.22 / 20 = 2.161 kg = 2.2 kg
