To get the object’s mass on Earth, use the formula mass = force/acceleration. On Earth, the acceleration is due to gravity, wherein the value is 9.81m/s². An N (Newton) is the measurement of force, which equal to kg m/s². Hence, 237N = 237 kg m/s².
Solution:
m = F/a
m = 237 kg m/s² ÷ 9.81 m/s²
m = 24.16kg
The object’s mass on the Earth’s surface is 24.16 kg.
