i don't understand that formula can you elaborate a little bit i came out with 7.07lbs of force and i don't think that is enough. Thanks
Of course, I'd be happy to explain the formula and help you understand it better.
To determine the force exerted, we can use the formula:
Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)
In this formula, 'Force' represents the force exerted on an object, 'Mass' represents the mass of the object, and 'Acceleration' represents the rate at which the object's velocity changes.
However, it's important to note that in order to use this formula accurately, we need to ensure that the units are consistent. Force is typically measured in Newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg), and acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s^2).
If you obtained a result of 7.07 pounds of force, it's important to convert the units to ensure accuracy. To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor of 1 pound = 0.4536 kilograms.
Once you have converted the mass to kilograms, you can multiply it by the acceleration to calculate the force in Newtons. Verify that the units are consistent throughout the equation.
If you would like further assistance, please provide the values you used for mass and acceleration so I can help you with the calculation.
