In each of the two free-body diagrams, the forces are acting on a 3.0kg object.
Figure 1
a)Find the value ofa_x, thexcomponent of the acceleration in diagram (a).
My calculations are Fx= 5 - 1 = 4 N, therefore ax = (4N/3kg) = 1.33m/s^2
Not the correct answer.
b)Find the value ofa_y, theycomponent of the acceleration in diagram (a).
Fy = 2.82-3sin(20) = 1.79N, therefore ay = (1.79/3) = .6 m/s^2
Also not correct
Figure 2
c)Find the value ofa_x, thexcomponent of the acceleration in diagram (b)
d)Find the value ofa_y, theycomponent of the acceleration in diagram (b).
