A physics student pushed a 50 kg box across the floor, accelerating it at a rate of 1.5 m/s^2. How much applied force was acting on the box of the frictional force was 25 N? Determine the new acceleration of the box if the mass was doubled?

Please somebody actually help!

try this, work out the total force on the 50 kg load using F=ma
