Question

Two workers push on a wooden crate. One worker push with a force of 543 N and the other with a force of 333 N. The mass of the wooden crate is 206 kg. What is the acceleration of the crate?

Answer 1

`a=4.2524\ m.s^(-2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

two workers push a crate.

• Force by first worker,
  `F_1=543\ N`

• force by second worker,
  `F_2=333\ N`

• mass of crate,
  `m=206\ kg`

(Assuming that both the workers push in the same direction.)

We know that,

Acceleration is given as:

`a=(F)/(m)`

`a=(F_1+F_2)/(m)`

`a=(543+333)/(206)`

`a=4.2524\ m.s^(-2)`
