1.	A body of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces 8 N and 6 N. Give the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the body.
Answer» SOLUTION :Resultant force = 10 N at an ANGLE of `tan^(-1) (3//4) = 37^@`with the DIRECTION of 8 N force. Acceleration =` 2 m s^(-2)`in the direction of the resultant force.
