#30# newtons

We use Newton's second law of motion, which states that,

#F=ma#

where:

#F# is the force applied in newtons

#m# is the mass of the object in kilograms

#a# is the acceleration in meters per second squared

So, we get:

#F=6 \ "kg"*5 \ "m/s"^2#

#=30 \ "kg m/s"^2#

#=30 \ "N" \ (because 1 \ "N"=1 \ "kg m"^2"/s"^2)#
