Answer:

The object has an approximate mass of 4.06 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration, so all we need to do is divide the force provided by the acceleration provided.


m = (62.2N)/(15.3 (m)/(s^2))\\\\m = (62.3kg(m)/(s^2))/(15.3 (m)/(s^2))\\\\m = (62.2kg)/(15.3)\\\\m = 4.06kg
