    To determine the force exerted by the boy in the box, we use Newton's second law of motion. It is expressed as Force = (m) (a) where m is the mass and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

    F = m a

    F = 39 kg (7.8 m/s^2)

    F = 304.2 N

    F = ma, where m is the mass of the body and a its acceleration.

    So F = 39x7.8 = 280.8 N
