Answer

$$m_{O} =30.58 k g $$ $$F_{P}=37.0018 N$$

Work Step by Step

using second Newtons law for the object on earth's surface: $$ \begin{aligned} F_{g} &=m_{O} \cdot g \\ 300 N &=m_{O} \cdot 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}} \\ \Rightarrow m_{O} &=\frac{300 N}{9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}}} \\ m_{O} &=30.58 k g \end{aligned} $$ $$F_{P}=m_{O} \cdot a_{P}$$ $$F_{P}=30.58 k g \cdot(4 \cdot 0.3048) \frac{m}{s^{2}}$$ $$F_{P}=30.58 k g \cdot 1.21 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$$ $$F_{P}=37.0018 N$$
