The answer will be 3.47....Option "a".

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object by virtue of its mass.

Weight of box on earth , W= 34 N

Mass of the box  = m

The force of gravity on Planet earth = \(g=9.8 m/s^2\)

W = mg...[1]

\(m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{34 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=3.47 kg\)

3.47 kilo gram is the mass of the box
