To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is , so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.
F= 698.75N
Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.
The vectors adition we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction
Parameters given
- Force of an astronaut Fₓ = 42 N
- Angle θ = 15º
To find
- Force another astronaut
The force is a vector magnitude for which the addition of vectors must be used, a very efficient method to perform this sum is to add the components of each vector and devise constructing the resulting vector using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's use trigonometry to find the other force
tan θ =
F_ y = Fₓ tan θ
let's calculate
F_y = 42 tan 15
F_y = 11.25 N
Using the summation of vectors we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction
