uestion 5.
iven:
Mass, m = 25 kg
Tension = 47 N
Let's find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the crate breaks.
Let the magnitude of the force be expressed as:
= m x a
efore the cord breaks , the maximum tension, T, in the string is:
= ma
Where:
T is the maximum tension
m is the mass
a is the maximum acceleration
ence, to findt he maximmum acceleration, rewrite the equation for a.
We have:
Now, input 47N for T and 25 kg for m to solve for a:
![\begin{gathered} a=\frac{47\text{ N}}{25\operatorname{kg}} \\ \\ a=1.88m/s^2 \end{gathered}]()
herrefore, the maximum acceleration of the truck before the cord breakes is 1.88 m/s²
