Homework Statement
There are two forces on the 1.97 kg box in the overhead view of Fig. 5-31 but only one is shown. For F1 = 27.6 N, a = 11.1 m/s2, and θ = 31.9°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) a direction. (State the direction as a negative angle measured from the +x direction.)
The diagram shown is a Box with F1 ------> and acceleration pointing 31.9 degrees southwest of the Y-axis.
Homework Equations
F2= mx - F1
The Attempt at a Solution
No idea... I first tried to solve for the x and y component of the above equation and I wound up getting a messed up answer.
