A force F is ...

Question

A force F is required to accelerate a mass m by 'a'. What force will be required to accelerate a mass 3m by same acceleration?

Open in App

Solution

According to newton's second law of motion

F = ma

When mass = 3 m, Then force F' will be

F '= 3ma = 3F

Hence, the force required will be three times the initial force.
