Q4

Three forces acting on an object are given by F, = (-1.9î + 7.45j) N, F, = (4.70î - 1.5j) N, and
= (-42î) N. The object experiences an acceleration of magnitude 4.00 m/s?.
(a) What is the direction of the acceleration?
• (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)

Expert Solution
Step 1

F1=-1.9+ 7.45 j

F2 =4.7 i - 1.5 j

F3 = -42 i

FTotal = -39.2 i + 5.95 j

|FTotal= 39.6489911599 N.  m = F/a = 39.6489911599/4=9.9122475 Kg

a = F/m= -3.95470351199 i + 0.6 j

direction of acceleration = tan-1[0.6/-3.95470351199] = -8.62702106907= 171.373o anticlockwise from x-axis
