I have a box weighing 20N pulled across a surface with no friction acting upon it only a natural force and the gravity force and a force east at 30degrees from the x axis of 50N how do i find the acceleration of the box

Question

gebooors · Answer

Share force to vertical and horizontal component.
Vertical component is lifting the box,
Horizontal is accelerating force.

First draw a nice Force diagram!

Then Try to find the net external force in horizontal and vertical components separately! Then use Newton's law: Ma = F(ext)
Where F(ext) is the net external force!
