Question

What is the equation for the X axis of this fbd? Remember the sign of convention discussed in the module

Answer 1

Answer:

F - f = ma

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of forces on the x-axis = ma (since it is not stated that the forces are in equilibrium)

`\sum fx=ma`

By resolving the Free Body

`F+(-f)=ma`

Simplifying the equation above, we have:

F - f = ma
