How to Calculate Force - Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

This video tutorial covers Newton's second law of motion, explaining the formula F=MA, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration. It introduces the triangle method for solving equations by covering the variable to solve for and using multiplication or division. The video includes practice problems to solve for force, mass, and acceleration, demonstrating how to apply the formula with real-world examples.
