How do you find acceleration with F=mg and F=ma?

[Dylan Ekman]

I know that you have to cancel out the masses and forces but still unsure how the equation goes

 

[CWatters]

F=ma=mg

m cancels so

a=g

If that's not what you are asking post the whole problem.

Well a is acceleration. In the specific case of gravity g is acceleration. So I guess you aren't asking us to point at the equation and say "there it is". I imagine it is too simple minded to believe that you just want us to invert the equations for you?

a = F/m or g = F/m. ?

Ok, the answer to the question you seem to be asking is too trivial. I think I missed something. What are you asking again?
