    F = m · a

    In order to accelerate 82 kg upward at the rate of 3.2 m/s², a NET upward force of (82kg · 3.2m/s²) = 262.4 Newtons is required.

    But if the object is on or near the surface of the Earth, then there's a downward force of (82kg · 9.8m/s²) = 803.6 N already acting on it because of gravity.

    So you need to apply (803.6N + 262.4N) = 1,066 Newtons UPward, in order to cancel its own weight and accelerate it upward at that rate.
