Answer:
Net force = 320N
acceleration = 8 m/s^2
Explanation:
From the diagram, the two forces are moving in the same direction, hence;
Net force on the body will be the sum of the force;
Net Force on the body = 180N + 140N
Net Force on the body = 320N
Given
Mass of the body = 40kg'
Based on Newton's second law;
a = F/m
a = 320/40
a = 8m/s^2
Hence the acceleration of the body is 8m.s^2
