In order to calculate the object's mass, we can use the formula for the weight:


\text{weight}=\text{mass}\cdot\text{gravity}

Using the gravity acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s², we have:


\begin{gathered} 22=\text{mass}\cdot9.8 \\ \text{mass}=(22)/(9.8) \\ \text{mass}=2.245\text{ kg} \end{gathered}
