Force and Laws of Motion

Long Answer Type

Derive the unit of force using the second law of motion. A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of 8 ms–2 on a mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 ms–2 on a mass m2. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together?

Derive the unit of force using the second law of motion. A force of 5 N produces an acceleration of 8 ms-2 on a mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 ms 2 on a mass m2. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together?

F = m a = kg ms-2 
This unit is also called newton. Its symbol is N.
