Friction force exerts on the body horizontally, it'd move when the forces on one side is greater than the other? But what's going to trigger that unbalanced force?
Hahah I have no idea how did I get 22.72, probably 1kg = 2.2 lbs
Thank you so much ♥ Finally it's solved~! :D
BTW, I have another tensions concept question
Two tug-of-war teams are at opposite ends of rope. Newton's third law says that the force exerted by team A will equal the...
Thanks for the reply, Bartek!
I plugged the new acceleration in, and played around with different equations
I've got many answers, but none that's 18.9kg
F= ma
= (22.72)(11.8)
= 222.656 N
How should I continue next?
Homework Statement
A fisherman yanks a fish straight up out of the water with an acceleration of 2m/s^2 using very light fishing line that has a "test value" of 50 pounds. the fisherman, loses the fish as the line snaps.
What is the minimum mass of the fish?
The answer given is...
