Answer:
m = 2500 [kg]
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
∑F = sum of the forces = 5.5 [kN] = 5500 [N]
a = acceleration = 2.2 [m/s²]
m = mass [kg]
Now clearing the mass [kg]
[tex]F=m*a\\m=F/a\\m = 5500/2.2\\m=2500 [kg][/tex]
