Answer 1

Remark

Usually this is written in very simple terms. You could do it as a proportion, but it might be easier to see if you used Newton's formula twice.

Formula

F = m * a

m = mass, F = force, a = accelerationn

Givens

F1 = 70 N

a1 = 6.5 m/s^2

m = ?

F2 = ??

m = ?

a2 = 8 m/s^2

Step One

Solve for m

F1 = m * a1              Substitute the values

70 = m *  6.5           Divide by 6.5

70/6.5 = m

10.77 kg = m

Step Two

Solve for F2

m = 10.77 kg

a = 8

F2 = ??

F2 = m * a2

F2 = 10.77 * 8

F2 = 86.154
