Express Newton's second law of motion mathematically explaining the symbols used

⏩ Measurement of force from Newton's second law:-
Suppose a force F acts on a body mass m and changes it's velocity from u to v in t seconds. Then,
➡ Initial momentum of the body, P1= mu
➡ Final momentum of the body, P2= mv
Change in momentum= P2- P1 = mv-mu = m(v-u)
Time taken = t
Therefore,
Rate of change of momentum= Change in momentum/ time taken
= Final momentum- Initial momentum/ Time taken
= mv- mu/t
= m(v-u)/t
= ma (Since v-u/t= a)
where a is the acceleration of the body.
Now, in accordance to Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force, so,
or F= kma
where k is a constant. The unit of force is so chosen that k is equal to one. If m= 1, a=1 and F= 1, then
1= k. 1. 1 or k= 1
Therefore,
F= ma or Force= Mass × Acceleration.
→So, a unit force is that force which produces a unit acceleration in a body of unit mass.
