Question:
A worker drags a crate across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude F = 450N on the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle θ = 38o to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f = 125N that opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if
(a) Its mass is 310 kg and
(b) Its weight is 310 N

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
