Answer:


m=14kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration by:


F=m*a

We can easily compute the mass by solving for it:


m=(F)/(a)

Whereas the force is 182 N (kg*m/s²) and the acceleration is 13 m/s², therefore, we obtain:


m=(182kg(m)/(s^2) )/(13(m)/(s^2))\\\\m=14kg

Best regards.
