Newton's Law: F = ma.
When they're pointing in the same direction F (which will be the sum of Fa and Fb) = 8.0 kg *0.50 m/s^2 = 4.0 N. When they're pointing in opposite directions, the sum of the forces will be Fa - Fb, and they will equal 8.0 kg * 0.4 m/s^2 = 3.2 N. So we have the two equations Fa + Fb = 4.0 Fa - Fb = 3.2, which we can solve simultaneously. Adding the two equations together gives 2Fa = 7.2, so Fa = 3.6 N. Substituting this into either one of the equations will give Fb = 0.4 N. Ads |
