A standard brass cylinder which has a mass of 2.00kg stands on a table. A girl ties a string to the cylinder and exerts a vertical force of 28.6N on the string to life the cylinder off the table. What is the acceleration of the cylinder?
weight = m g = 2*9.81
net force = 28.6 -2*9.81
a = F/m = (28.6 - 2 * 9.81) / 2.00
