Hill · Answer 1

You can use a basic equation to find acceleration V=Vo+at. You initial velocity is 0 so it would be 27=0+a10. Diving ten gives you the acceleration of 2.7m/s.

F=ma so F = (2160) (2.7) = 5832N

Derrick Valentine · Answer 2

A = (v1-v2) / t

= (27-0) / 10

=2.7m/s^2

now force=mass * acceleration

=2160*2.7

=5832N
