Problem
A block of mass 4.0kg rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is pulled simultaneously by two horizontal forces: 6N due east and 8N due north.
(i) Find the magnitude and direction (angle north of east) of the net force acting on the block.
(ii) Hence, determine the magnitude of the block’s acceleration.
