Concept:

  • Force: Force is defined as the product of mass times acceleration.
    • SI unit of force is the Newton (N).

Force = mass x acceleration

Calculation:

Given: mass = 50 kg, g = 10m/s2, load of weight = 50N.

Force applied by his feet is =

Ftotal = Force applied by porter + load of weight

Ftotal = 50 × 10 + 50

Ftotal = 550 N
