Answer:
[tex]F = 27N[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Force directly proportional to acceleration
Force = 21N when Acceleraion = 7m/s^2
Required
Determine the force when acceleration = 9m/s^2
The variation between force (F) and acceleration (A) implies that:
[tex]F\ \alpha\ \ A[/tex]
Convert to an equation
[tex]F = mA[/tex]
Where m is constant.
When F = 21 and A = 7, we have:
[tex]21 = m * 7[/tex]
Solve for m
[tex]m = \frac{21}{7}[/tex]
[tex]m = 3[/tex]
When A = 9
Substitute 9 for A and 3 for m in [tex]F = mA[/tex]
[tex]F = 3 * 9[/tex]
[tex]F = 27N[/tex]
