Answer:
Explanation:
Component of force F₁ in right direction = F₁cos37
= 12 x cos37 = 9.58 N .
Component of force F₂ in vertically upward direction = F₁sin37
= 12 x sin37 = 7.22 N .
a ) Let normal force be R
R + F₁sin37 = mg
R + 7.22 = 1.5 x 9.8 = 14.7
R = 7.48 N .
b )
Net force in horizontal direction = F₂ - F₁cos37
= F₂ - 9.58
This is equal to zero as body is moving with zero acceleration
F₂ - 9.58 = 0
F₂ = 9.58 N
c ) If body is moving with acceleration of 2.5 m /s² along the direction of F₂
F₂ - 9.58 = 1.5 x 2.5 = 3.75
F₂ = 13.33 N .
