A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force of magnitude 4.8 N. A normal force and a friction force also act on the box. After the magnitude is increased to 6.2 N, what is the acceleration of the box?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 0.185 m/s^2?

OpenStudy (surry99):

how did you arrive at your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding the mass of 74 N. and then subtracting 4.8 from 6.2. and divide the mass of 74 N by (6.2-4.8).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this right?

OpenStudy (surry99):

yes
