    4.5 kg

    Explanation:

    Since weight, W = mg where m = mass and g = gravity acceleration = 10 N/kg and W = 45 N

    m = W/g

    = 45 N/10 N/kg

    = 4.5 kg

    The mass of the block on the ship is thus 4.5 kg. Since mass is an intrinsic property of a substance and does not change with location, the mass of the block when it is brought to as space station surrounding the earth is also 4.5 kg.
