Answer

$290Kg$

Work Step by Step

First of all, we convert the given force into the SI unit Newton: $F=0.064oz$ $F=(0.064oz)(\frac{1lb}{16oz})(\frac{4.448N}{1lb})$ $F=0.0178N$ Now we convert the given velocity into SI units as well: $\Delta v=(7900\frac{mi}{h})(\frac{1609m}{1mi})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$ $\Delta v=3530.86\frac{m}{s}$ $t=16000h=(1600h)(\frac{3600s}{1h})=5.76\times 10^7s$ $a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}$ $\implies a=\frac{3530.86}{5.76\times 10^7}=6.13\times 10^{-5}\frac{m}{s^2}$ Now we can find the required mass as follows: $m=\frac{F}{a}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=\frac{0.0178}{6.13\times 10^{-5}}$ $m=290Kg$
