Answer:

About 34.18kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Using F=ma, you know that the force that an object exerts can be found by multiplying the mass and the acceleration. Therefore, you can find the mass with the formula
m=(F)/(a). Plugging in the values you were given,
m=(335)/(9.80)\approx 34.18kg. Hope this helps!
