Homework Help Overview

The problem involves a woman pulling a 24.0 kg object at an airport with a force of 45.0 N at an angle of 22° above the horizontal. The context suggests a focus on determining the acceleration of the object, with the mention that friction is negligible.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to calculate the components of the force acting on the object and expresses uncertainty about the sufficiency of the information provided to find acceleration. Other participants discuss the relationship between force and acceleration, with one participant humorously affirming the fundamental equation F=ma.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the relationship between force and acceleration. A hint regarding the fundamental equation has been acknowledged as helpful, indicating a productive direction in the conversation.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of potential missing information, as the original poster feels there may not be enough details to solve for acceleration, despite having calculated force components.

A woman at an airport is pulling her 24.0 kg by a strap at an angle of 22 ° above the horizontal as shown in figure Fig. P5.44. She pulls on the strap with a 45.0 N force, and friction is negligible.
How would you find acceleration in this problem, there doesn't seem to be enough info but I know there is.
I calculated this
Fx = 41.72
Fy = 18.86

Well... how do you relate force and acceleration...
 
lol, duh F=ma
 
thank you, I just needed that little hint
 
anytime :approve:
