I tried drawing a diagram, rearranging equations, and reading the textbook, but I can't figure out how to do this problem. I've done all the other questions on my homework (though half of them are most likely wrong), but this one makes no sense. Can anyone help?
A person fishing hooks a 2 kg fish on a line that can only sustain a maximum 38 N of force before breaking. At one point while the person is reeling in the fish, it fights back with a force of 40 N. What is the minimum acceleration with which you must play out the line in order to keep it from breaking?
