AI Thread Summary
The problem involves calculating the acceleration of a 14.1 kg block acted upon by two forces: one with a magnitude of 28.5 N along the x-axis and another with a magnitude of 6.7 N at an angle of 38.7 degrees to the x-axis. Initial calculations for the components of the forces were incorrect, particularly regarding the x-component of the first force, which should be 28.5 N with no y-component. After correcting the force components, the resultant force was recalculated, leading to the correct acceleration. The final acceleration value was confirmed to be accurate after addressing the component errors.

I've been given this problem: Two forces act on a block of mass 14.1 kg. The first force has magnitude 28.5 N and is directed along the x axis. The second force has magnitude 6.7 N and is directed at an angle of 38.7 degrees to the x axis. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (i.e., the angle above the x-axis) of the block's acceleration. The block ONLY has the two indicated forces acting on it. Gravity DOES NOT play a role.

I keep doing this problem over, including saving the rounding until the end, but I still seem to be off by a little bit. If any of you could help me spot the error, I would appreciate it.

components of FA:
FAX[/size] = (28.5 N)(cos 38.7) = 22.24 N
FAY[/size] = (28.5 N)(sin 38.7) = 17.82 N

components of FB[/size]:
FBX[/size] = (6.7 N)(cos 38.7) = 5.23 N
F[size=-2]BY[/size] = (6.7 N)(sin 38.7) = 4.19 N

F[size=-1]RX[/size] = 22.24 + 5.23 = 27.47 N
F[size=-1]RY[/size] = 17.82 + 4.19 = 22.01 N

then I took the square root of the sum of FRX[/size] squared plus FRY[/size] squared and got 35.2 N.

I then divided this by 14.1 kg to find the acceleration and ended up with 2.496 m/s^2 but the program says it's incorrect. Close, but wrong. Any takers?

The 28.5 N force is directed along the x-axis. That means its y component is 0 and its x component equals 28.5 N.
 
Okay, I finally got it! Thanks for the help. :)
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
