The answer is "False". The force acting on the object is 27 N.
According to Newton's second law, when a force F acts on am object of mass m, it produces an acceleration a. The force is given by the expression,
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
Thus, if the body has a mass of 9.0 kg and if it has an acceleration of 3 m/s², then, on substituting the values in the equation for force,
[tex]F=ma\\ =(9.0kg)(3m/s^2)\\ =27N[/tex]
Thus, it can be seen that the force acting on the body is 27 N and not 3 N as is mentioned in the statement. Hence the statement is false.
