Answer:

Mass = 4281.35 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

W = mg

Where;

W is weight

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity which has a constant value of 9.81 m/s².

We are given weight W = 42000 N.

Thus;

42000 = m × 9.81

m = 42000/9.81

m ≈ 4281.35 kg
