A block is acted upon by TWO horizontal forces as illustrated in the diagram above. The block accelerates at 1.5\(ms^{-2}\). Calculate the mass of the block.

A

6kg

B

9kg

C

10kg

D

15kg

correct option: a

Total force exerted on the block = (10 - 1) = 9N

Force = mass x acceleration

9 = m x 1.5

m = 9/1.5 = 6kg
