Solution:
A body of mass m, initially moving with velocity u, accelerates at a constant rate a. It attains a
final velocity v after time t. This acceleration is caused by a force, F. Now, according to
Newton’s second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly
proportional to the applied force. Mathematically, it is represented as
F ∝ ma
Or, F = kma
Where, k is a constant
Now, we say that the force that causes a unit acceleration in a body having a unit mass is the
unit force, i.e.,
Therefore, k = 1
∴ F = ma
