double-check the formula  F = m a^2
a = change in velocity with time 
remember velocity is the change in distance with time

I just came up with the answer 1,930 N  is it correct?

retireed · Answer

Why am I getting 1924 N ?

triciaal · Answer

I think both of you have the same  with rounding error  based on the options
