From what i know it is c. it is a lever
Let, 1st force = a
2nd force = b
A.T.Q,
a+b = 10
a-b = 6
Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2
After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5
Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons
The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
We have then:
Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
Then, the resulting net force is:
F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
Then by definition:
F = m * a
Clearing the acceleration:
a = F / m
a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
answer:
The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
