Problem

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the sum of the forces that act on an object with a mass m that moves with an acceleration a is equal to m, dot, a.
An object whose mass is 80 grams has an acceleration of 20 meters per seconds squared.
What calculation will give us the sum of the forces that act on the object, in Newtons (which are start fraction, start text, k, g, end text, dot, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, squared, end fraction)?
