Solution :

Given :

Mass of crat $m=50~kg$

F.B.D

enter image description here

Applying the equation of 2nd law of motion

Along Y-axis

$\begin {aligned}\Sigma F_y &=m\left(a_{G}\right)_{y} \\ N-W &=0 .....(i) \end{aligned}$

Along X-axis

$\begin{aligned}\Sigma F_{x} &=m \left(a _{G}\right)_{x} \\ P-F &=50a_G\\ 600-0.2 N &=50 a_{G} .....(ii)\end{aligned}$

Moment at G

$\begin {aligned}\Sigma M_{G} &=0 …
