Answer:

The answer to your question is F = 110.4 N

Explanation:

Data

mass = 92 kg

acceleration = 1.2 m/s²

Force = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Newton's second law which states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables, the net force acting upon the body and the mass of the object.

Formula

F = ma

-Substitution

F = (92)(1.2)

-Result

F = 110.4 N
