Find force from mass and acceleration (Newton's second law).

Force (N) 98.1

Formula: F = m × a

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Mass = 10
3. Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²
4.
5. Force = Mass x Acceleration = 10 x 9.81 = 98.1N
Did we solve your problem today?

Newton's second law relates the force on an object to its mass and acceleration.

The math behind it

F = m × a. Force is in newtons (N) when mass is in kg and acceleration in m/s². Earth's gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s².

Worked example

10 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 98.1 N (the weight of a 10 kg object).
