Answer:

The mass of the sign is 44.5 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the sign, F = 445 N

We need to find the mass of the sign.

Net force acting on it is given by :

F = mg

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity


m=(F)/(g)\\\\m=(445\ N)/(10\ m/s^2)\\\\m=44.5\ kg

So, the mass of the sign is 44.5 kg.
