solve for the amount of force exerted on an 8-kg b
To solve for the amount of force exerted on an 8-kg object, you need to know its acceleration. If you have the acceleration, you can apply Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration:
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Since you have the mass (8 kg), you need to find the acceleration to determine the force. Acceleration can be found using other known information, such as the net force acting on the object.
Is there any additional information available, such as the net force acting on the object or any other context related to the situation?
