Answer:

m=58.86 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Gravitational force,F= 577.2 N

acceleration ,a= 9.806 m/s²

From Second law of Newton's

F= m a

F=Net force acting on the object

m=Mass of the object

a=acceleration of the object

Now by putting the values in the above equation

577.2= m x 9.806


m=(577.2)/(9.806)\ kg

m=58.86 kg

Therefore the mass of Christopher will be 58.86 kg.
