A body of mass 10 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces, 6 N and 8 N. The resultant acceleration of the body is:
A
at an angle of 
w.r.t. 8 N force
B
at an angle of 
w.r.t. 8 N force
C
at an angle of 
w.r.t. 8 N force
D
at an angle of 
w.r.t. 8 N force
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: Here m= 10 kg
The resultant force acting on the body is
Let the resultant force F makes an angle 
w.r.t 8N force
From figure 
The resultant acceleration of the body is
The resultant acceleration is along the direction of the resultant force
Hence, the resultant acceleration of the body is 
at an angle of 
w.r.t. 8N force
