Answer:
a = 4.96 m/s²
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the box, m = 51 Kg
The magnitude of the applied force, Fₐ = 485 N
The friction force on the box, Fₓ = 232 N
The net force acting on the box is,
F = Fₐ - Fₓ
Substituting the given values in the above equation
F = 485 - 232
= 253 N
The acceleration of the crate is given by
a = F/m
= 253 / 51
= 4.96 m/s²
Hence, the acceleration of the crate is, a = 4.96 m/s²
