ANSWER

18 N

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The dresser's mass, m = 36 kg

,

• The dresser's acceleration, a = 0.5 m/s²

Find:

• The applied force, F

By Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration,

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

Assuming that there is no friction between the dresser and the floor,

[tex]F=36kg\cdot0.5m/s^2=18N[/tex]

Hence, the force being applied is 18 N.
