Force is the product of mass and acceleration . The question is ask to find acceleration. But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass. where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force NB: kilo is 1000 now we have to multiply 7N by 1000 by doing so you will have 7000N which is the force. Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass which is 7000/600 therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667
