Answer:

Force = F = 3.63 [N]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

where:

m = mass = 125 [g] = 0.125[kg]

a = 29 [m/s^2]

ΣF = m*a

F = (0.125*29)

F = 3.63 [N]
