Answer:

Mass=0.143 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the acceleration produced and the acceleration is in the direction of the force.

F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a i the acceleration.

m=F/a

=4.719N/33 m/s²

=0.143 kg
