Given:

An object has a weight of 950 Newtons

Determine the mass of the object.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

N = kg . m/s^2

Solution:

The weight of an object is equal to its mass times acceleration due to gravity, therefore we can divide 9.8m/s^2 on the given value to find its mass.

= 950 N / 9.8 m/s^2

= 97 kg

Final answer:

The object weighs 97 kg.
