    Force = mass × acceleration.
    Acceleration= (final velocity - initial velocity)/ time
    Final velocity= 6m/s; initial velocity= 4m/s
    6-4=2m/s;
    Acceleration= 2/3= 0.3333
    Force= 8×0.3333= 5.33N

    Force = mass × acceleration
    For v1, a1 = 4/3 m/s^2
    For v2, a2 = 6/3 m/s^2
    So, magnitude of applied force F = m×a1 - m×a2
    = 5.33 N
