Answer:

1.)3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that force is the product of mass and acceleration

So it is given as

F = ma

now if a constant force is applied on an object of given mass then the product of mass and acceleration must remains constant

so here we can say that if the mass is reduced by one third

so we have

F = (m)/(3)a'

so here we have

ma = (m)/(3)a'

a' = 3a
