    The spring force = kx = mg.

    k is spring constant = 200 N/m

    x is the spring elongation = 0.2 m

    F = 200*0.2 = 40 N

    Now, F = mg wil be the weight of the object

    Thus, weight is 40 N.

    Thus, now we can also find the mass of object, m = F/g = 40 N/9.8

    Because g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec ^2

    m = 4.08 kg
