Question 177

A precision-controlled submersible of mass m m\,m is being tested in a deep-water tank. It moves under the influence of two horizontal forces, F1\mathbf{F}_1F1​ and F2\mathbf{F}_2F2​.

It is given that

F1=(2.5i−14.8j) N \mathbf{F}_1 = (2.5\mathbf{i} - 14.8\mathbf{j}) \text{ N} F1​=(2.5i−14.8j) N F2=(0.4ki+1.2kj) N \mathbf{F}_2 = (0.4k\mathbf{i} + 1.2k\mathbf{j}) \text{ N} F2​=(0.4ki+1.2kj) N

where k k\,k is a constant.

The submersible experiences an acceleration of (1.5i+2j) m s−2(1.5\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j}) \text{ m s}^{-2}(1.5i+2j) m s−2.

Determine the value of kkk.
