Answer:
The net force is 20 N and the acceleration of the block is [tex]5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the block, m = 4 kg
Force in right side = 30 N
Force in left side = 10 N
We need to find the net force and the acceleration of the block.
Net force = Right force - left force (as both are opposite to each other)
= 30 N - 10 N
= 20 N
Formula for net force,
F = ma
a is acceleration
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{20\ N}{4\ kg}\\\\a=5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, the net force is 20 N and acceleration of the block is [tex]5\ m/s^2[/tex].
