  2. A constant resultant force, of magnitude \(R\) newtons, acts on a particle so that it moves in a straight line passing through the same two points \(A\) and \(B\) At \(A\), the speed of the particle is \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in the direction from \(A\) to \(B\) The particle takes 2 seconds to travel from \(A\) to \(B\) The mass of the particle is 150 grams. Find the value of \(R\)
