Heya!!

For calculate force, lets applicate second law of Newton:


\boxed{F=ma}

Δ Being Δ

F = Force = ?

m = Mass = 50 kg

a = Aceleration = 7,2 m/s²

⇒ Let's replace according the formula:


\boxed{F= 50\ kg * 7,2 m/s^(2)}

⇒ Resolving


\boxed{ F = 360\ N}

Result:

The force is 360 Netwons.

Good Luck!!
