Answer : [tex]F=5.8\times 10^2\ Newtons[/tex] amount of force is required to push a sofa.
Explanation :
It is given that,
The mass of sofa, m = 59 kg
Acceleration, [tex]a=9.75\ m/s^2[/tex]
According to Newton's second law of motion :
F = ma
m is the mass and a is the acceleration produced.
[tex]F=59\ kg\times 9.75\ m/s^2[/tex]
F = 575.25 Newtons
[tex]F=5.75\times 10^2\ Newtons[/tex]
or
[tex]F=5.8\times 10^2\ Newtons[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
