The force required to lift the object is 294 N.

Given data:

The mass of object is m=30 kg.

The force applied to lift an object will be equal to the weight of the object.

The weight of the object can be calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} W=mg \\ W=(30)(9.8) \\ W=294\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

The weight of the object is 294 N; therefore, the force required to lift the object is 294 N.
