2 m/s2 , at an angle of 37° with a force of 8 N
The given situation can be represented as follows:
The resultant of two forces is given as:
The negative sign indicates that θ is in the clockwise direction with respect to the force of magnitude 8 N.
As per Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration (a) of the body is given as:
F = ma
a = F/m = 10/5 = 2 m/s2
