Question

How much force (in pounds)required to move one ton container from stationary to one \(\frac{m}{s^2}\)?

• A. 220.70
• B. 222.80
• C. 224.80
• D. 225.80

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

For Solving this problem we use Newton's second law of motion(\(F=m\times a)\)
Acc. to Ques:
  - \(m = 1000 \, \text{kg}\)
  - \(a = 1 \, \frac{m}{s^2}\)

So, \(F = 1000 \, \text{kg} \cdot 1 \, \frac{m}{s^2} = 1000 \, \text{N}\)
  -We know that \((1 \, \text{N} \approx 0.2248 \, \text{lbs})\)

\(F \text{ (in pounds)} = 1000 \, \text{N} \times 0.2248 \, \frac{\text{lbs}}{\text{N}} \approx 224.8 \, \text{lbs}\)

Therefore, The correct option is (C).
