on a
mass 
and an
acceleration of 
on
a mass 
. What
acceleration would the same provide, if both the masses are tied together?
Answer:
We know that, Sl unit of mass, m=1kg
Sl unit of acceleration, a = 1 
Now, from Newton's second law, F = ma
Sl
unit of force, F = 1 kg x 1
= 1 kg-
kg- is
known as
1
newton (N) newton (N) = 1 kg-
1
newton can be defined as, "the force is said to be 1 newton if it produces
1 acceleration
in a body of 1 kg mass".
Condition I Given, 
and 
mass of
first body
and
mass of
second body From Newton's second law, F = ma or 5 = m, x 8
Condition II Again, using Newton's II law 
Sum of two masses 
Acceleration produced by the same force provided if both
the masses are tied together.
i.e.,
F = same
combined
mass
Hence, the acceleration is 
.
