Yo, im sorry. I read the question wrong.
It said," The mass of a 98 N weight is____?
A. 960 kg
B.10 N
C. 10 kg
D. 960 N

98 N is the weight, so i think u try to ask the other way around
if want the mass of 98 N on earth
u ues weight divide by gravtational intensity which is 9.8N per kg
98N/9.8N.kg=10 kg

Well 98 N is the weight. Newtons (N) is a unit of force, not mass. I don't understand what you are trying to ask, since you answered your own question, it weighs 98 N

F = ma
F = force (or weight) in newtons (kg-m/s^2)
m = mass in kg
a = acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 at the earth's surface)
thus
98 = m * 9.8
or
m = 98 / 9.8 = 10kg
or #C on your test

P = mg => m = P/g = 98 / 9.8 = 10kg

10 divide by 9.8 (or 8.9 not totally sure)
