The discussion revolves around interpreting a graph that plots acceleration against mass, with the goal of determining the magnitude of force acting on objects of varying mass. The original poster seeks clarification on how to correctly apply the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
The discussion is active, with participants providing feedback on the calculations and suggesting unit conversions to clarify the results. There is no explicit consensus on the final answer, but various interpretations and approaches are being explored.
Participants note potential confusion regarding the units of mass (grams vs. kilograms) and the implications of this on the calculated force. The original poster's initial calculation appears to be based on a misunderstanding of these units.
It's not 600m you're multiplying (m means mass in that context) it's 600g.Eram Ahmed said:
Yes sorry that was a typo, I meant 600 g. So shouldn't the answer be 3600 Newtons then? F=ma?Hiero said:
No, the answer should then be 3600 g⋅m/s2Eram Ahmed said:
