Initial Velocity, u = 25m/s
Final Velocity, v = 0
Time, t = 2 sec
g = 10m/s^2
Mass = 20kg

Weight = mg = 200 N

So, a force of 200N will be required to overcome the weight of the body,

now to stop the body,
Force = ma = m(v-u)/t = 20 (0-25)/2 = -250N

The negative sign denotes the opposite direction.

So the total force required Is 200N + 250N = 450N
