A person fishing hooks a 2.0-kg fish on a line that can only sustain a maximum of 38 N of force before breaking. At one point while reel- ing in the bass, it fights back with a force of 40 N. What is the minimum acceleration with which you must play out the line during this time in order to keep the line from breaking?
