Homework Statement
A 125 N box is pulled along the floor with a force of 60 N acting at an angle of 42 degrees to the horizontal. If the force of friction on the box is 15 N,
A. what is the acceleration of the box?
B. How much work is done to move the box over a distance of 5 m?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
TX = Tcos0
TX = 60Ncos42
TX = 44.6N
fnet=60N - 45N
fnet = 45N
fnet= TX - Ff = ma
45N = 44.6N - 15N = (125N)(a)
45N = .237 = a
a=189.9m/s^2
