Answer:

The answer is 5160 N

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration we use the formula

Force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 1720 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

Force = 1720 × 3

We have the final answer as

5160 N

Hope this helps you
