Answer:
[tex]a=0.067\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the box, m = 31 kg
The two forces are shown in the attached figure. They are acting in opposite direction.
Net force, F = 9.7 - 7.6 = 2.1 N
The formula for net force is given by :
F = ma
a is resultant acceleration
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{2.1}{31}\\\\a=0.067\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the resultant acceleration is [tex]0.067\ m/s^2[/tex].
