    Mass of the object m = 2.9 kg

    Force F1 = 28.449 N

    F1 = m1 x a = > a = F / m = > 28.449 / 2.9 = > a = 9.81, which is gravitational acceleration.

    In the same lab, a = g = 9.81, second object F2 = 48.7N = m2 x a

    m2 = F2 / a = > 48.7 / 9.81 = > m2 = 4.96 kg

    Mass of the second object m2 = 4.96 kg

    If the units is expressed in terms of Newtons, that's a unit of force. The relationship between force and mass is Newton's Second Law of Motion.

    F = ma

    In this case, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Let's solve a first.

    28.449 N = (2.9 kg) (a)

    a = 9.81 m/s²

    We use this to find the m of the second case.

    F = ma

    48.7 N = m (9.81 m/s²)

    m = 4.96 kg
