Homework Statement the mass of a ship is 15000kg. force of friction is 12000n acceleration is 2m/s2. find resultant force and thn the forward force Homework Equations resultant force = mxacc 15000x2=30000 The Attempt at a Solution unable to calculate the forward force but think...

thanks for the help thought it was that but it seemed too easy

so do i just multiply 40kg times gravity to get the right answer

how do u work out the tension of a rope ? an electric motor is used to lift a mass of 40kg at a steady speed if friction forces are ignored calculate the tension of the rope. help i have just started physics double award and do not understand this
