    What is the numerical formula for force?

    A) F=ma                                      

    B) \[F=\frac{m}{a}\]

    C) \[\operatorname{F}=m{{a}^{2}}\]      

    D) \[F={{a}^{2}}m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] The Newton's second law of motion can be expressed as
    \[\operatorname{Force}\propto \frac{Change in momentum}{Time\ taken}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\operatorname{F}\propto \frac{mv-mu}{t}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[\operatorname{F}\propto \frac{m(v-u)}{t}\]               \[\left[ \because a=\frac{(v-u)}{t} \right]\]
    \[\therefore \ \ \ \ \operatorname{F}\propto ma\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   F = kma          [where, k is constant]  
    But the value of constant k is 1.
    So, the numerical formula for force is F = ma.
