Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:


\boxed{F=ma}

Δ Being Δ

F = Force = 78,3 N

m = Mass = 24,5 kg

a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "a":


\boxed{a=78,3\ N / 24,5\ kg}

⇒ Resolving


\boxed{a=3.19\ m/s^(2)}

Result:

The aceleration is 3,19 meters per second squared (m/s²)

Good Luck!!
