    125 N

    Explanation:

    Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration. S. I unit of force is Newton (N).

    Mathematically, Force can be expressed as,

    F = ma ... Equation 1

    Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration of the body.

    Making m the subject of the equation,

    m = F/a ... Equation 2.

    Given: F = 40 Newtons, 8 m/s²,

    Substituting into equation 2

    m = 40/8

    m = 5 kg,

    When the acceleration a = 25 m/s²

    Substitute into equation 1

    F = 25*5

    F = 125 N.

    Hence the needed = 125 N.
