At the beginning of a new school term, a
student moves a box of books by attaching a
rope to the box and pulling with a force of
F = 84.4 N at an angle of 64°, as shown in the
figure.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
The box of books has a mass of 14 kg and
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the
bottom of the box and the floor is 0.3.
64°
14 kg
μ = 0.3
What is the acceleration of the box?
Answer in units of m/s².
