What acceleration is produced on a mass of 200 g, when a force of 10 N is
exerted on it ?

Given parameters:

Mass of the body  = 200g

Force on the body  = 10N

Unknown parameters:

Acceleration produced by the force  = ?

To solve this problem we must first define force in terms of mass and acceleration. This is possible due to the Newton's first law of motion.

  Force  = mass x acceleration

Here the unknown is acceleration and we can easily solve for it.

But we must take the mass to kilogram in order for it to cancel out.

        1000g  = 1 kg

        200g  = x kg =     = 0.2kg

Now input the parameters and solve;

         10  = 0.2 x acceleration

   Acceleration  =   = 50m/s²

The acceleration produced by the body is 50m/s²
