Answer:

The answer is 198.23 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of an object given it's mass and acceleration we use the formula


m = (f)/(a) \\

where

m is the mass

F is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question

a = 92.54 m/s²

F = 18,344 N

We have


m = (18344)/(92.54) \\ = 198.2277933...

We have the final answer as

198.23 kg

Hope this helps you
