Expert Solution
Step 1

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and is in the direction of net force. Mass being the proportionality constant.

F=ma

Step 2

(a)

Magnitude of resultant force of F1 and F2 is:

F=F12+F22+2F1F2cos 900F=(30)2+(10)2F=31.62 N

Direction of resultant force :

tanθ=F2F1tanθ=1030θ=tan-1(1030)θ=18.430

Use Newton's second law of force:

    F=ma
a=Fma=31.62 N4.80 kga=6.58 m/s2

So acceleration of the object is 6.58 m/s2 in the direction of net force, i.e., at an angle of 18.430 counterclockwise from F1
