The initial acceleration of the wishbone.
Answer to Problem 44A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Both K and G pull the wishbone towards themselves (both of them pull in the opposite direction).
The mass of the wishbone is
Formula used:
Newton’s Second Law: The object’s acceleration is equivalent to the sum of the forces acting on the object divided by the object’s mass. That is,
Calculation:
Consider G pulls the wishbone with a force
Consider K pulls the wishbone with a force
Find the net force
Find the initial acceleration of the wishbone as follows:
Apply Newton’s Second Law,
Conclusion:
Thus, the initial acceleration of the wishbone is
