Question: Three forces in the x-y plane act on a 5.80 kg mass: 16.90 N directed at 710, 9.60 N directed at 1540, and 8.90
Three forces in the x-y plane act on a 5.80 kg mass: 16.90 N directed at 710, 9.60 N directed at 1540, and 8.90 N directed at 259. All angles are measured from the positive x-axis, with positive angles in the Counter-Clockwise direction. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. Draw a careful picture. Calculate the x and y components of each vector. Adding those results in the x and y components of the resultant. Then calculate the magnitude of the resultant. Finally use Newton's second Law, F=ma.
