Question 22

A particle of mass 4 kg is acted on by two forces [(2λ+3)i+(3λ−4)j][(2\lambda+3)\mathbf{i}+(3\lambda-4)\mathbf{j}][(2λ+3)i+(3λ−4)j] N and (5i−2j)(5\mathbf{i}-2\mathbf{j})(5i−2j) N.

The acceleration of the particle is in the direction i+j\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}i+j.

a.

Find λ\lambdaλ.

[3]
b.

Find the magnitude of the acceleration.
