Question
A force acts for 0.1 s on a body of mass 3.2 kg initially at rest. The force then ceases to act and the body moves through 3 m in the next one second. Calculate the magnitude of force.

Solution
Time for which force is applied =0.1 s.
Mass of the body = 3.2 kg.
Initial speed of body = 0 ms-1
After removal of forces body covers a distance of 3m in 1 second so final speed of body = 3/1 = 3ms-1.
We know FX t = m (v - u)
F X 0.1 = 3.2 (3 -0)
F = 9.6/0.1 = 96 N.
So applied force is 96 N.
