Answer:

less than 20580 N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion

Force = mass * acceleration

(assuming gravitational acceleration =9.8 m/s2 )

acceleration = 30*9.8 = 294 m/s2

acting Force = 70 * 294

= 20580 N

Since the acceleration was less than 30g , acting force should also be less than 20580 N
