Answer:
[tex]12.79 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
1. Apply Newton's 2nd law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
2. Use the definition of weight to find the mass of the box:
[tex]W=mg=m=\frac{W}{g}[/tex]
3. Solve for acceleration in Newton's 2nd law and substitute for mass:
[tex]a=\frac{F}{\frac{W}{g} }[/tex]
4. Plug in the given values from the question and assume [tex]g=9.81m/s^2[/tex]:
[tex]a=\frac{777N}{\frac{596N}{9.81m/s^2} } } =12.79m/s^2[/tex]
