nd the vec-the barge.o get thend then doide by theSons in theFigure 4.8 (Example 4.2)..... .... Two horses are pulling a barge with a mass 4000 kg along a canal, as shown in Figure 4.8 inthe book, page 86. The cable connected to the first horse makes an angle of 0:= 25.0° withrespect to the direction of the canal, while the cable connected to the second horse makes anangle of 02=45.0°. Find the initial acceleration of the barge, starting at rest, if each horse exertsa force of magnitude 650 N on the barge. Ignore forces of resistance on the barge.

As per the given data the force exerted by each horse equals 650 N and the angles are θ1 = 25° and θ2 = 45° so the force exerted in the direction of the barge motion is as shown in the figure Now the net force applied on the Barge by the horses F = F1cos(θ1)+F2cos(θ2) = (650 N)cos(25°)+(650 N)cos(45°) =1048.72 N By the newtons law of motion the acceleration of the barge will be given by a =Fm =1048.72 N4000 kg =0.262 m/s2 So the initial acceleration of the barge is a =0.262 m/s2. thank you!
