Two forces are applied on a 2.00 kg box to move it. In the overhead view of the system, one force has a magnitude of 20.0 N and is applied along the +x axis. This results in an acceleration of the box of magnitude 12.0 m/s2 in the direction given by the angle θ = 30∘ as shown in the diagram below. (a) Determine the magnitude of the second force. (b) Determine the direction of the second force. After a while, a third force is applied on the box and as a result it now moves with a constant velocity. (c) What is the magnitude of the third force? (d) What is the direction of the third force? (e) Draw all three forces in the overhead view of the box.
