force of 5N produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 on a mass mr and an
acceleration of 24m/s2 on a muss mz. What acceleration would the same force
provide if both the masses are tied together?

Explanation:
From Newton's second law of motion, the applied force is directly proportional to the acceleration produced or F=ma
The unit of force is newton in SI denoted by the symbol N.
Forces acting on a mass m

with acceleration a
1
and mass m

with acceleration a

are as given below.
