Answer:

The answer is 71.81 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.384 × 187 = 71.808

We have the final answer as

71.81 N

Hope this helps you
