It would be A because it would make sense
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the rocket = 10 kg
Weight of the Rocket = 100 N
Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N
<u>Net upward force on the rocket:</u>
We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N
Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity
Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity
Net upward force = 400 - 100
Net upward force = 300 N
<u>Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:</u>
From newton's second law:
F = ma
<em>replacing the variables</em>
300 = 10 * a
a = 30 m/s²
See this suggested solution.
1. Let a force F' is the vector sum of the forces P and Q, then it is shown on the attached picture and marked with red color.
2. according to the condition the force F holds the object, then F should have the same length as the force F' and the opposite direction.
3. using the conditions described in 2. the answer is C.
