Answer:
8 N
Explanation:
Applying,
(F’+F) = ma…………… Equation 1
Where F’ = Amhed’s force, F = Rashid’s force, m = mass of the box, a = acceleration of the box.
From the question,
Given: F = 12 N, m = 4 kg, a = 5 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
(F’+12) = 4×5
(F’+12) = 20
F’ = 20-12
F’ = 8 N.
Hence Ahmed’s force is 8 N
