Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:


\boxed{F=ma}

Δ Being Δ

F = Force = 85,5 N

m = Mass = 24,3 kg

a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "a":


\boxed{a=85.5 \ N / 24.3\ kg}

⇒ Resolving


\boxed{ a = 3.51 \ m/s^(2)}

Result:

The aceleration is 3,41 meters per second squared (m/s²)

Good Luck!!
