Answer :
We start with Newton's second law of motion:
$$
F = m \cdot a
$$
where
\( F \) is the force,
\( m \) is the mass, and
\( a \) is the acceleration.
To solve for the mass \( m \), we rearrange the equation:
$$
m = \frac{F}{a}
$$
Given that the force is \( F = 200 \, \text{N} \) and the acceleration is \( a = 8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), we substitute these values into the equation:
$$
m = \frac{200 \, \text{N}}{8 \, \text{m/s}^2}
$$
Calculating the division:
$$
m = 25 \, \text{kg}
$$
Thus, the mass of the crate is \( 25 \, \text{kg} \).
