    Calculating Force to Accelerate Lawn Mower: Newton's 2nd Law

    I figured out the horizontal friction force, Fpx to be 55.11 N and the normal force exerted vertically to be 190.8 N. And the other info given is F = 84 the lawn mower has a mass of 13 kg and moves at a constant speed. The lawn mower is at an angle of 49 degrees to the horizontal. I need to...

    How Do You Apply Newton's Laws to Calculate Forces on a Lawn Mower?

    A person pushes a 13.0 kg lawn mower at constant speed with a force of 84.0 N directed along the handle, which is at an angle of = 49.0° to the horizontal. (a) Calculate the horizontal retarding force on the mower (b) Calculate the normal force exerted vertically upward on the mower by...
