This page provides some insight into determining force and provides a force calculator to evaluate it for a given mass and acceleration.
Calculation
Inputs
m
:100kg
a
:2m/s^2
Here are the variables for the equation
F = Force (N)
m = Mass (kg)
a = Acceleration (m/s2)
Output
F
:200N
F=ma
Explanation
According to Newton's second law of motion, the push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity. Force is an external agent capable of changing a body's state of rest or motion.
F=ma
It has a magnitude and a direction. The SI units of force are Newton (N) and the imperial units of force are Pounds (lb).
