Answer:
Acceleration of the crate is 0.362 m/s^2.
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the box, m = 40 kg
Applied force, F = 15 N
Angle at which the force is applied,
= 15°
We have to find the magnitude of the acceleration.
Let the acceleration be "a".
FBD is attached with where we can see the horizontal and vertical component of force.
