Answer:

29.39 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

W = mg...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the cuboid box, m = mass of the cuboid box, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.................. Equation 2

Given: W = 288 N

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 288/9.8

m = 29.39 kg
