Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the resultant force F⃗net\vec{F}_{\text{net}} by adding the three given forces.

    The forces are given as:
    F⃗1=(2m+n)\vec{F}_1 = (2m + n)
    F⃗2=(−3m+4n)\vec{F}_2 = (-3m + 4n)
    F⃗3=(4m−6n)\vec{F}_3 = (4m - 6n)

    We sum the components:

    F⃗net=F⃗1+F⃗2+F⃗3\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = \vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 F⃗net=(2m+n)+(−3m+4n)+(4m−6n)\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = (2m + n) + (-3m + 4n) + (4m - 6n)

    Combine the mm components and the nn components:

    F⃗net=(2−3+4)m+(1+4−6)n\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = (2 - 3 + 4)m + (1 + 4 - 6)n F⃗net=3m−n\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = 3m - n
  2. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force ∣F⃗net∣|\vec{F}_{\text{net}}|.

    Assuming mm and nn are orthogonal unit vectors, the magnitude is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

    ∣F⃗net∣=(3)2+(−1)2|\vec{F}_{\text{net}}| = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-1)^2} ∣F⃗net∣=9+1|\vec{F}_{\text{net}}| = \sqrt{9 + 1} ∣F⃗net∣=10 N|\vec{F}_{\text{net}}| = \sqrt{10} \text{ N}
  3. Use Newton's second law to find the magnitude of the acceleration.

    Newton's second law states that F⃗net=Ma⃗\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = M\vec{a}, where MM is the mass and a⃗\vec{a} is the acceleration.
    We are given the mass M=12 kgM = 12 \text{ kg}.
    The magnitude of acceleration is given by:

    ∣a⃗∣=∣F⃗net∣M|\vec{a}| = \frac{|\vec{F}_{\text{net}}|}{M}

    Substitute the values:

    ∣a⃗∣=10 N12 kg|\vec{a}| = \frac{\sqrt{10} \text{ N}}{12 \text{ kg}} ∣a⃗∣=1012 m/s2|\vec{a}| = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{12} \text{ m/s}^2

    The magnitude of the acceleration of the body is 1012 m/s2\frac{\sqrt{10}}{12} \text{ m/s}^2.
