    Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

    to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

    conveniently, we don't need to convert units

    we just need to multiply the two to get the force

    65 * 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

    if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N
