a=3+2       =5m/s2Solution in inertial frame :
 Question Image
The acceleration of the man in inertial frame is
or  a=[aman]car+[acar]inertialframe
 
From Newton’s second law 
or  F=ma           F=70×5=350N
Solution in non-inertial frame
 Question Image
The acceleration of the man with respect to car is 2 m/s2 Now from Newton’s second law,  we can write,
 F70×5=70×3             F=350N
