Answer 1

Answer: acceleration = 3.27m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the

Mass M = 44kg

Angle Ø = 15 degree

Coefficient of friction ų = 0.7

Force F = 222N

F - Fr = ma ...... (1)

Where Fr = frictional force

Fr = ųN

N = normal reaction = mg

Fr = ųmgsinØ

Fr = 0.7 × 44 × 9.81 × sin 15

Fr = 78.2N

Substitutes Fr, F and M into equation one.

222 - 78.2 = 44a

143.79 = 44a

Make a the subject of formula

a = 143.79/44

Acceleration a = 3.27 m/s^2
