The mass of the object is 96.94 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight, W = 950N

Mass, m = ?

We know:

Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity

And

g = 9.8 m/s²

On substituting the value we get:

950 = m X 9.8

m =
(950)/(9.8)

m = 96.94 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 96.94 kg
