Answer:

Mass, m = 96.94 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The weight of Big Bertha, W = 950 N

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The force acting on a body of mass is given by the relation,

F = W = m x g newton

∴ m = W/g

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

m = 950 N / 9.8 m/s²

= 96.94 Kg

Hence, the mass of Big Bertha is, m = 96.94 Kg
