Question

Is the constant of proportionality ‘m’ in the equation ‘ F = m *a’?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

No, the constant of proportionality is not 'm' in the given equation as the value of 'm' i.e mass may change according to the change in type of object.
F ∝ ma
F = k.ma , where k is constant of proportionality whose value is 1.
