We will have the following:
According to the image:
First, we remember that:
[tex]F=m\cdot a[/tex]Now, we will determine he maximum mass will be:
[tex]52.0N=m\cdot(1.8m/s^2)\Rightarrow m=\frac{^{}52.0N}{1.80m/s^2}[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow m=\frac{260}{9}kg\Rightarrow m\approx28.9kg[/tex]So, the maximum mass will be approximately 28.9 kg.
