Explanation / Answer

given,

F1 = 65 N

F2 = 12.3 N

theta = 30 degree

mass of the block = 4.4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.2

magnitude of the normal force = weight of the block + vertical component of force F2

magnitude of the normal force = mass of block * g + F2 * sin(30)

magnitude of the normal force = 4.4 * 9.8 + 12.3 * sin(30)

magnitude of the normal force = 49.27 N

net horizontal force = F1 - F2 * cos(30)

net horizontal force = 65 - 12.3 * cos(30)

net horizontal force = 54.348 N

force = mass * acceleration

54.348 = 4.4 * acceleration

acceleration = 12.352 m/s^2

acceleration of the block = 12.352 m/s^2
