Question

What net is required to push a sofa with a mass of 59 kilograms so that it accelerates at 9.75 meters/second^2 (assume a flat,frictionless surface.)

Answer 1

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

Do I need to go any further ?

I get 575.25 Newtons .

Oh ! Look at that ! Right there at the top, it says "Using Newton's Second Law". This might have suggested to you that maybe you could solve the problem by using Newton's Second Law.
