wow.. those are some big numbers :D.. but you can use newton's second law and easily solve it!

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Yea, those numbers are quite large...anyway:\[F=12104N=ma=(20103kg)(a)\]Now just solve for a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not right shane.. net force is upward force minus the force of gravity :P..

You're right...answered it too quickly :)
