A block is acted upon by TWO horizontal forces as illustrated in the diagram below. The block accelerates at 1.5\(ms^{-2}\). Calculate the mass of the block.
- A. 6kg
- B. 9kg
- C. 10kg
- D. 15kg
Correct Answer: A. 6kg
Explanation
Total force exerted on the block = (10 - 1)N =9N
Force = mass x acceleration
9 = m x 1.5
m = 9/1.5 = 6kg
