Question

How to find the magnitude and direction of acceleration given the force and mass which are:

F= 5.0 N , 20 N
M= 3.0 kg

How to draw the diagram for this problem?

5.0N ← 3.0 kg → 20 N

Answer 1

Are you told that the forces are operating in the same direction or opposite directions? Perhaps the forces are at an angle to each other?
