Question

A block with a mass of m = 33 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 11.5 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 23 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 22° measured from horizontal, as shown. write an expression for the component of net force, Fnet,x, in the x direction, in terms of the variables giving in the problem statement. write an expression for the magnitube of the normal force, Fn, acting on the block, F2 and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on it rigid. Find the block's acceleration in the x-direction, ax, in meters per second squared

Answer 1

Simple application of free body diagram and components of force and balancing the forces acting on the block. Writing the force equations along Y and X axis will yield the desired expressions​​​​​
