Two forces are applied to a body weighing m = 4 kg: F1 = 6 H and F2 = 8 H. Determine the acceleration of the body.

Since two forces are directed perpendicular to each other, then we get a triangle of which we already know two legs, by the Pythagorean theorem we find the hypotenuse. F = 6 ^ 2 + 8 ^ 2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10
According to Newton’s second law, F = ma. m = F / 1 m = 10/4 = 2.5
Answer 2.5 m / s ^ 2
