Answer:

F = 19.62[N]

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration, we can determine the force.


F=m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2 [kg]

a = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:


F=2*9.81\\F=19.62[N]
