IGGY SPEAKS

"This is Iggy. Don't panic. You cannot pick the locks but you can smash the door down. The door will require 500 Newtons of force. Force is calculated using mass and acceleration using the formula f=ma. You can probably accelerate an object at 15m/s squared. You have to determine the mass of the object needed to generate enough force to open the door."

You are successful but you can only save the life of people who are not infected with small pox.
