Answer:

The mass of the object is 18.26kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We know by Newton's second law we know that a force applied on an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration caused by the force:

F=ma

From this equation, solving for the mass:

m=(F)/(a)

Plugging in the values:

m=(265.1N)/(14.52m/s^2)=18.26kg
