To calculate the force (F) using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a), you've been given:
Mass (m) = 5560 kg
Acceleration (a) = 2.55 m/s²
You can simply multiply the mass and acceleration to find the force:
F = m × a
F = 5560 kg × 2.55 m/s²
Now, perform the multiplication:
F = 14178 kg·m/s²
The SI unit of force is the newton (N), which is equivalent to 1 kg·m/s². Therefore, you can express the force in newtons:
F = 14178 N
So, the force is 14,178 newtons.
