Answer:

One: either C or D. I can't give you a definite answer. See below.

Two: D

Step-by-step explanation:

One

F = m * a

F = 895 N

a = 9.8

m = F/a

m = 895/9.8

m = 91.82

This turned out to be a very nasty little question. I don't know how you should answer it. The closest answer is C but is it close enough? You have to decide if you've had approximation questions before. If you have, C is the answer. If not then D is what you should choose.

Two

The answer is III and IV which makes it D
