Your answer to that would be 1498kg how did i get that?

14700=m (9.81) : therefore you get 1498kg

Jewel Salinas · Answer 2

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity).

If that particular yacht is on Earth, then gravity = 9.8 m/s².

14,700 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

mass = 14,700 N / 9.8 m/s²

= 1,500 kilograms.
