Hello students.

So to solve this question, let us first find the x component of force f, which will be given as fx equals f1x plus f2x plus f3x.
00:22
Now putting the values here, we get the x component of f, that is fx equals minus 1 .75 plus 5 .40 minus 5 .40, 49 now this will give us minus 45 .35 newton similarly the y component of force f is given as fy equals f1y plus f2y plus f3y again putting the values here we get the y component that is f y equals 6 .00 minus 2 .40 plus 0 which will give us 3 .60 newton.
01:17
Now that we have calculated x and y components, let us find the first part a, that is direction of acceleration.
01:26
So using the formula, theta equals tan inverse f y divided by f x here the angle is plus 180 degree now using this formula let us find the direction of acceleration putting the values here we get theta equals tan inverse f y is 3 .60 divided by minus 45 .35 plus 180 degree.
01:58
Now, the final answer for part a, theta, is 175 .5 degrees.
02:07
So for b part, we need to find the mass of the object.
02:11
For that, let us find the magnitude of force first, which will be minus 45 .355 square plus 3 .6 .6.
02:23
Square under root.
02:26
This will give us the result of 45 .49 newton's.
02:32
Now, mass of the object can be calculated using m equals f divided by acceleration a.
02:40
Putting the value here we get 45 .49 divided by acceleration is 3 .80.
02:50
This will give us the result 11 .97...
