The maximum force a plastic grocery bag made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) can withstand without ripping is 95 newtons [N]. Suppose the bag is filled with 45 pound-mass [lb] of groceries and then lifted with an acceleration of 11 feet per second squared [ft/s²]. Determine the force applied to the bag by lifting the groceries in units of newtons [N]. For an object lifted by a vertical force, its acceleration equals the difference between the force and weight, divided by the object's mass: F-w m a=
