प्रश्न
Explain the meaning of the following equation :
F = m x a
where symbols have their usual meanings
उत्तर
The given equation gives us a relationship between 'force' and 'acceleration' according to the Newton's second law of motion.
F = m × a
where,
m = mass of a body
a = acceleration of the body
F = force acting on the body
