Question

A body of mass 1 kg is being pulled up by two forces as shown in the figure. The body is moving along the y- axis. It is not moving along the x-direction.
a) Draw the free body diagram
b) What is the magnitude of the force?
c) Find the acceleration of the mass. A body of mass 1 kg is being pulled up by two forces as shown in the figure. The body is moving along the y- axis. It is not moving along the x-direction.
a) Draw the free body diagram
b) What is the magnitude of the force?
c) Find the acceleration of the mass.

Explanation / Answer

The mass of the body is m = 1 kg The forces acting on the body are Fx and Fy respectively The resultant force acting on the body is F = (Fx^2 + Fy^2)^1/2 The body moves along the y-axis and not along the x-axis,therefore,we can take Fy = 0 or F = Fx Let the acceleration of the mass be a We know that F = m * a and Fx = w = m * g or m * a = m * g or a = g = 9.8 m/s^2
