Question

What is the mass of an object that has the force of 237 N and the acceleration of 9.8m/s2?

Answer 1

Force = mass x acceleration

so F/a=m

Remember, a newton is 1 kg*m/s^2, so you can cancel out the units to make sure you have the correct answer. As well, be sure to take into account significant digits in your answer.

Answer 2

use Newton's second Law, F=ma

here F=237 N and a = 9.8m/s/s

so m=F/a=237N/9.8m/s/s

=24.2 kg
