The image above represents force.
To compute for force, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are mass (m) and acceleration (a).
The formula for calculating force:
F = ma
Where;
F = Force
m = Mass
a = Acceleration
Let’s solve an example;
Find the force when the mass is 12 and the acceleration is 26?
This implies that;
m = Mass = 12
a = Acceleration = 26
F = ma
F = 12 x 26
F = 312
Therefore, the force is 312 N.
Calculating for Mass when the Force and the Acceleration is Given.
m = F / a
Where;
m = Mass
F = Force
a = Acceleration
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass when the force is 100 and the acceleration is 20.
This implies that;
F = Force = 100
a = Acceleration = 20
m = F / a
m = 100 / 20
m = 5
Therefore, the mass is 5.
