    Magnitude of force acting on an object

    You're right. I didn't need to use forces to solve this: F = m*a = 1.84*10.66 = 19.6 N If I draw a line from the origin 28.8deg north of east and derive the components, then Fx=the force eastward: Fx = 19.6 *cos(28.8) = 17.2 N

    Solve Forces (Tension) Homework: Billy & 2 Fish

    Thanks. That was the right answer, but for the FBD of the carp, why isn't the weight equal to the total weight of both fish? Don't both weights affect the tension of the line?

    Solve Forces (Tension) Homework: Billy & 2 Fish

    Homework Statement Billy has caught two fish. He has tied the line holding the 4.40kg trout to the tail of the 2.36kg carp. To show the fish to a friend, he lifts upward on the carp with a force of 71.3 N. What is the tension of the rope connecting the trout and carp? Homework Equations...

    Magnitude of force acting on an object

    Homework Statement A 1.84kg mass is observed to accelerate at 10.66m/s^2 in a direction 28.8 degrees north of east. There is a force directed north acting on the object and a force directed east acting on the object. What is the magnitude of the force acting east on the object? Homework...
