As the stone is in contact with the train thus the acceleration of stone is the same as that of train i.e.  1 m/s2.

Thus force acting on the stone is given by :   

                                                              F\ =\ ma

or                                                                 =\ 0.1\times 1\ =\ 0.1\ N

This force is acting in the horizontal direction.
