Abody of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces 8 N and 6N. Give the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the body.
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
