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
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
