What are the units of the slope of the force vs. acceleration graph? Simplify the units of the slope to fundamental units 

### Physics Experiment Data Table

This table records data from a physics experiment investigating the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The values are as follows:

| Hanging Mass (kg) | Mass added to cart (kg) | Total cart mass 'm' (kg) | Force 'F' in iOLab (N) | Acceleration 'a' (m/s²) | F/a (kg) |
|-------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------|---------|
| 0.02              | 0                       | 0.102                    | -0.255                | 0.209                    |         |
| 0.05              | 0                       | 0.102                    | -0.286                | 0.197                    |         |
| 0.08              | 0                       | 0.102                    | -0.229                | 0.236                    |         |
| 0.10              | 0                       | 0.102                    | -0.325                | 0.114                    |         |
| 0.15              | 0                       | 0.102                    | -0.738                | -0.608                   |         |

- **Hanging Mass (kg):** The mass that is suspended during the experiment.
- **Mass added to cart (kg):** Additional mass added to the cart, which is zero in this case.
- **Total cart mass 'm' (kg):** The total mass of the cart, consistently 0.102 kg.
- **Force 'F' in iOLab (N):** The force measured using the iOLab system in newtons.
- **Acceleration 'a' (m/s²):** The acceleration experienced by the cart in meters per second squared.
- **F/a (kg):** Meant to show the cart mass calculated from force and acceleration (currently unfilled).

This data is essential for understanding Newton's Second Law of Motion and examining how the force applied and mass affects the acceleration of the cart.
