According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
<u>Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force.</u> A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.
What is the pressure transmitted in the liquid on a hydraulic pump where an elephant with a weight of 40 000 N is placed on top of the large piston with an area of 40 m2. The small piston area is 4 m2.
