[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]
The force acting on an object is given by
[tex]\boxed{F = ma}[/tex]
where:
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]
Solving for F
F = ma
F = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
[tex]\boxed{F = \text{49 N}}[/tex]
Therefore, the force exerted by the book is 49 N.
