The newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
A newton is defined as the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second, per second, 1 kg⋅m/s2.
Question: Just give me hint of free body diagram where force will be considered because I have to find the force.I have tried this problem with past rules but now al little force problem so the question is

Why do we accept Newtons laws?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. why?
An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Why does it need a force to stop it?
