Derive the unit of force using the second law of motion. A force of `5N` produces an acceleration of `8m s^(-2)` on a mass `m_(1)` and an acceleration of `24m s^(-2)` on a mass `m_(2)`. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together?

Explanation

To derive the unit of force using the second law of motion and solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Second Law of Motion
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by the acceleration (a) produced by that force. This can be expressed mathematically as:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]

### Step 2: Derive the Unit of Force
From the equation \( F = m \cdot a \):
...
