Review and apply Newton's second law of motion.
F = m a
The applied force, F, must be in Newtons to get the acceleration in m/s^2.
A 2 kg mass applies a weight force of 2*g = 19.6 Newtons
a = F/m = 19.6/4.9 = 4.0 m/s^2
A force of 2 kg weight acts on a body of mass 4.9 kg .Find the acceleration produced.
