Question

derive the unit of force using the second law of motion a force of 5N produce an acceleration of 8m/s2 on a mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 on a mass m2 what acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together

Solution

second law of motion:

Force=Mass×Acceleration

unit of mass is kg

unit of acceleration is m/s2

F=kg×m/s2

so the unit of force is kgm/s2

1kgm/s2=1Newton

Q.)

Force=Mass×Acceleration

Force=5N,Mass=m1,Acceleration=8m/s2

5=m1×8

m1=5/8kg

similarly,

Force=5N,Mass=m2,Acceleration=24m/s2

5=m2×24

m2=5/24kg

when these masses are tied

total mass M will be = m1+m2=(5/8)+(5/24)=5/6kg

now we fin acceleration for mass M=5/6,force=5N

Force=Mass×Acceleration

5=(5/6)×Acceleration

Acceleration=6m/s2
