2. A 10-kg box of books is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 60.0 N is required to set the box in motion and a horizontal force of 50 N is required to keep the block moving with constant speed. What will be the acceleration of the box if a force of 60.0 N is constantly applied after it moves?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Mass of box (m) = 10kg

Box moves with constant speed if applied horizontal force is equal to 50 N

We want to find acceleration of box when applied horizontal force is equal to 60N
