Javon · Answer 1

Fr = 26.105 N

Explanation:

The force is equal to mass by the acceleration in this case the net force is the summation of both forces so

From Ft=Force Taru, Fr=?, m=1.63kg, a=1.66m/s^2

Fnet = m*a

(Fr - Ft) = m*a

Fr = m*a + Ft

→ Replacing numeric

Fr = 1.63kg*1.66m/s^2 + 23.4N =

Fr = 26.105 N
