           Solving Problems Involving Resultant Force, Mass and Acceleration of
           an Object


           Example         1

           Figure 1.7 shows a coconut of mass 2.0 kg falling                       LET’S ANSWER
                                                                                   LET’S ANSWER
           with an acceleration of 9.0 m s .
                                      –2
           (a)  Sketch the free body diagram of the coconut.
           (b)  Calculate the resultant force acting on the coconut.
           (c)  State the direction of resultant force.
           (d)  What is the magnitude of the air resistance           m = 2.0 kg     http://bit.ly/
               acting on the coconut?                                                 2ZW39FA

              Solution
                                                           Air resistance, R
           (a)  The forces acting on the coconut are its
               weight and air resistance (Figure 1.8).
