310 N

Explanation:

To overcome the force of chihuahua you will need 10 N and to accelerate at a rate of 3 m/s² you will need 100*3 = 300 N. Altogether 310 N.

By Newtons second law, F = ma

and the force required to for the acceleration of your body can be calculated as,

F = 100*3 = 300 N

Also you need to overcome the mighty canine, so you will need 1O N to pull back your leg from it.
