Newton’s second law in component form

Accelerometer A string with one 10-g washer on the end is attached to the rearview mirror of a car. When the car leaves an intersection, the string makes an angle of 5o with the vertical. What is the acceleration of the car? [Hint: Choose the washer as the system object for your force diagram. Use the vertical component equation of Newton’s second law to find the magnitude of the force that the string exerts on the washer. Then continue with the horizontal component equation.]
