Question

⦁ A body has weight 10 N. How much force is required to move it vertically upward with an acceleration of 3 ms-2?

Answer 1

Force = 3.06 Newton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Weight = 10N

Acceleration = 3m/s²

To find the force required;

First of all, we would determine the mass of the body.

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s².

10 = mass * 9.8

Mass = 10/9.8

Mass = 1.02 kg

Now, we can find the force required by using the formula below;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 1.02 * 3

Force = 3.06 Newton.
