Solution

2m/s2,at an angle of 37° with a force of 8 N

Massof the body, m= 5 kg

The givensituation can be represented as follows:

Theresultant of two forces is given as:

θis the angle made by Rwith the force of 8 N

Thenegative sign indicates that θ is in the clockwise direction with respect to the force of magnitude8 N.

Asper Newton’s second law of motion,the acceleration (a)of the body is given as:

F= ma
