Question3. Two horizontal forces act on a mass. One force has a magnitude of 8.0 N and is directed due north. The second force toward the east has a magnitude of 6.0 N . What is the acceleration of the mass?
A) due north
B) due east
C) at 53 e N of E
ㅇ) at of N
Studdy Solution
Determine the direction of the acceleration.
The direction of the resultant force is given by the angle with respect to the east direction, which can be calculated using the tangent function:
The direction is north of east.
The acceleration of the mass is:
at north of east.
