The force exerted : 8 N
Given
mass = 800 g
Acceleration = 10 m/s²
Required
The force exerted
Solution
Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
∑F = m. a
[tex]\large {\boxed {\bold {a = \frac {\sum F} {m}}}[/tex]
F = force, N
m = mass = kg
a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²
Input the value :
F = 0.8 kg x 10 m/s²
F = 8 N
