Discovering Force: Acceleration with a Meter Stick at 30° Angle

[Larrytsai]

What force pushing with a meter stick, ( theta= 30) will make a hole punch accelerate at 9.98m/s^2?

I am lost cause I don't see what I can do without the hypotnuse force, i just need help to get started i think

Hi Larrytsai!

I'm completely confused.

Can you describe the problem in a little more detail?
