Question

Derive the relation F=ma, where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Newton, F∝dp/dt

               F=kdp/dt (p=momentum)

               k=1

      therefore, F=dp/dt

                        F=m(dv/dt)

                        F=ma

                       where m is the mass of the body and a is its acceleration
