Here is a picture of the problem.
The question is:
A force F0 causes an acceleration of 17 m/s2 when it acts on an object of mass m sliding on a frictionless surface. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the same object in the circumstances shown in each figure below.
Figure (a)
m/s2
Figure (b)
m/s2
My problem is I am not too sure what the problem wants me to do.
It gives me the acc. of 17 m/s^2 but how come it asks me to find the magnitude of the acc.?
Can somone please rephrase this into simpler terms? I want to do this on my own but I am just confuse on what this problem want me to do. Any help would be appreciated.
