Question

A box is accelerating to the right on a conveyor belt at a rate of 6 m/s2. A free body diagram of the box is shown with the normal, weight, and applied forces labeled.

Based on the free-body-diagram, determine the mass of the box in kilograms.

Answer 1

15 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, weight=147 N

we know,

Weight=mass × acc.due to gravity (g)

or,mass=weight/g

or,mass=147/9.8

:.mass=15 kg
