Derive the unit of force using the second law of motion. $A$ force of $5 \, N$ produces an acceleration of $8 \, m s^{-2}$ on a mass $m_1$ and an acceleration of $24 \, m s^{-2}$ on a mass $m_2$. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together (in $, m s^{-2}$)?

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $9$
