Answer:
a = 0.1067 [m/s²]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must first draw a free body diagram with the forces acting on it.
a)
In the attached image we can find the free body diagram.
b)
The net force can be found by performing a sum of forces on the X-axis, these forces are seen in the free body diagram.
∑Fx = Fr
where:
Fr = resultant force [N] (units of Newtons)
[tex]F_{r}=275+275-310\\F_{r}=240[N][/tex]
c)
Acceleration can be found by means of Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of the forces in a body or the resulting force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
m = mass = 2250 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
[tex]240=2250*a\\a=0.1067[m/s^{2} ][/tex]
