Answer:

24.775N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law

\sum Fx = ma

F- Ff = ma

F and Ff are the forces acting on the object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Given

Ff = 10N

m = 7.5kg

a = 1.97m/s²

Required

F

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

F - 10 = 7.5(1.97)

F-10= 14.775

F= 10+14.775

F = 24.775N

Hence the greatest possible magnitude of the other force is 24.775N
