Okay that did work at 106 N.
Now to find Tension if the acceleration 1.5 m/s^2!
the total weight is 70.9 kg
so i did (70.9*1.5)+(70.9*9.8)=801.2 N for Tension but got it wrong?
It is 0 N! Thank You! I wasn't sure.
Now if an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2 is applied, how do you find force?
would a variation of the equation a= (Net Force/mass) be valid for this problem?
and if so would i add together the total weight of all blocks and solve or attempt to do them all...
Are you sure that the problem doesn't state constant acceleration (in m/s^2) instead of constant velocity?
yes, I am sure it says velocity.
Hint: This is something of a trick question. What net force is required for an object to have a constant velocity?
There is no net force when...
