The mass of the box which the fisherman applies a horizontal force is 17.16 Kg
To solve this exercise, the formula and procedure to be applied are:
F = m * a
Where:
- m = mass
- F = Force
- a = acceleration
Information about the problem:
- a= 3.00 m/s2
- F= 51.5 N
- 1 N = kg * m/s²
- m = ?
Applying the force formula and isolating the mass, we get:
F = m * a
m = F/a
m = 51.5 Kg * m/s² / 3.00 m/s2
m = 17.16 Kg
What is force?
It is the physical magnitude that expresses the effort necessary to move the mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared, this is expressed in units of the international system in Newton.
