Answer:
The magnitude of the other force is 43.75 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, m = 8.5 kg
Force 1, [tex]F_1=14\ N[/tex]
Acceleration of the object, [tex]a=3.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
To find,
The greatest possible magnitude of the other force.
Solution,
Let [tex]F_2[/tex] is the magnitude of other force that is acting on the object. For the greatest force, the two forces must be act in opposite direction such that :
[tex]F_2-F_1=ma[/tex]
[tex]F_2=ma+F_1[/tex]
[tex]F_2=14+8.5\times 3.5[/tex]
[tex]F_2=43.75\ N[/tex]
So, the magnitude of the other force is 43.75 N.
