    First calculate the acceleration using the formula:

    d = v0 t + 0.5 a t^2

    where d is distance = 200 m, v0 = initial velocity = 0, t is time = 9s, a = acceleration (?)

    200 = 0 + 0.5 * a * 9^2

    a = 4.94 m/s^2

    Force is mass times acceleration, therefore:

    F = m a = 1200 kg * 4.94 m/s^2

    F = 5,925.93 N
