Answer:

F = 17270 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by the acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 3454 [kg]

a = acceleration = 5[m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 3454*5

F = 17270 [N]
