Two horizontal forces, F1→ and F→2, are acting on a box, but only F→1 is shown in the drawing. F2→ can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that F→1 = +5.4 N and the mass of the box is 4.4 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of F→2 when the acceleration of the box is (a) +5.7 m/s2, (b) −5.7 m/s2, and (c) 0 m/s2. (a) F2→ = (b) F→2 = (c) F→2 =

Two horizontal forces,

\vec{F_{1}}

and

{\vec{F}}_{2}

, are acting on a box, but only

{\vec{F}}_{1}

is shown in the drawing.

\vec{F_{2}}

can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the

x

axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that

{\vec{F}}_{1} = + 5.4 N

and the mass of the box is

4.4 k g

. Find the magnitude and direction of

{\vec{F}}_{2}

when the acceleration of the box is (a)

+ 5.7 m / s^{2}

, (b)

- 5.7 m / s^{2}

, and (c)

0 m / s^{2}

. (a)

\vec{F_{2}} =

i (b)

{\vec{F}}_{2} =

i (c)

{\vec{F}}_{2} =

i
