A 10–kilogram box is at static equilibrium, and the downward pull of gravity acting on the box is 98 newtons. What is the minimum force that would be required to just pick up the box? A.
exactly 98 newtons in the downward direction
B.
slightly greater than 98 newtons in the upward direction
C.
exactly 98 newtons in the upward direction
D.
any value lesser than 98 newtons in the downward direction

it is easily magnetized.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
