  • what happens if i don't know Fa?

  • @DreadedLeopard You would need to be given something else then because you can only be missing one variable or you can't solve for anything. The formula for the x and y direction would still be the same so you would plug in what you know and solve for what you don't. I hope this helps.

  • Thank you so much. this has helped me a lot! Im from malaysia.

  • @mrssyasya Hello from Canada. Thanks for letting us know the videos helped.

  • on time 4:42 why did you divide Fx-Ff/(20kg)?

  • @hypeblast Just above the part on the board where we did that, you will see written Fx - Ff=ma So if you substitute numbers for each variable you get 34 - 10 = 20a (We skipped that step) When you rearrange this to bring the 20 over to the other side by dividing both sides by 20 you get (34 - 10)/20 = a

    So the 20 was the mass and it needed to be brought over to the other side to solve for "a" I hope this helps, let me know if you need more clarification.
