Answer:

The amount of force needed is 36,400 N

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of force needed to reach a particular acceleration given the mass of the body.

Mathematically, the amount of force needed can be calculated using the mathematical equation below;

F = m * a

where m is the mass with a value of 9,100kg according to the question

and a is the acceleration with a value of 4 m/s^2

Plugging these values directly, we have ;

F = 9100 * 4 = 36,400N
