Answer

The mass of the object can be calculated using Newton's second law, F=m⋅aF = m \cdot a. Rearranging gives m=Fam = \frac{F}{a}.

Using the force of 20 N and the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²):

m=20 N9.8 m/s2≈2.04 kgm = \frac{20 \, \text{N}}{9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2} \approx 2.04 \, \text{kg}

So, the mass of the object is approximately 2.04 kg.
