Consider the block being moved along a frictionless horizontal surface, as depicted

Consider the block being moved along a frictionless horizontal surface, as depicted in the figure below. The block is pushed from behind by a horizontal force while simultaneously being pulled by a pulling force direct at an angle, above the horizontal. If Fpush = Fpull = 4.16 N, the mass of the block is m = 3.88 kg, and the angle of the pulling force is 0 = 34.4, what is the magnitude, a, of the acceleration for the block shown below? The surface is perfectly frictionless and the block does not leave the surface. Image size: S M L Max F pull 0 F push
