25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate the mass of the crate by using the Newton's second law:


F=ma

where

F is the force acting on the crate

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem,
F=200 N and
a=8 m/s^2, so we can re-arrange the equation above to calculate the mass of the crate:


m=(F)/(a)=(200 N)/(8 m/s^2)=25 kg
