Question

A child decides to take her cat on a walk, but the cat does not cooperate. The child pulls on the 2.5 kg cat with force of 20 N in a direction that is 30 degrees above horizontal, and the cat resists being pulled forward with a horizontal force of 15 N.

What is the acceleration of the cat?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Write the given values with suitable variables.

$\begin{array}{rcl} m & = & 2.5 kg \\ F & = & 20 N \\ θ & = & 30 ° \\ F_{r} & = & 15 N \end{array}$

Here, m denotes the mass, F denotes the applied force, $θ$ denotes the angle of the applied force above the horizontal, and $F_{r}$ denotes the resistive force.
