\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the second Newton's law  F = m*a,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "where F is the force in newtons; m is the mass in kilograms;  \"a\" is the acceleration in m/s^2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Notice that the units must be consistent: convert 5000 grams to kilograms mass\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    5000 grams = 5 kilograms.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "After that, the calculation is straightforward:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    a = 5*20 = 100 newtons.    ANSWER\r\n" );
