Answer:

311,850 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:


F=ma

where

F is the net force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

m = 27 kg is the mass

a = 11,550 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for F, we find:


F=(27)(11550)=311,850 N
