when a constant force is applied to an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 4 kg the acceleration of the object is 13 m/s^2. when the same force acts upon another object its acceleration is 2 m/s^2. what is the mass of the object

When a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 6 kg, the acceleration of the object is 10 m/s^2. When the same force acts upon another object, its acceleration is 3 m/s^2. What is the mass of this object?

Newton's second law of motion (Chapter 4 ) says that the acceleration of an object of mass $m$ subject to force $F$ depends on both $m$ and $F$. The dimensions of acceleration are $\mathrm{L} / \mathrm{T}^{2},$ and the dimensions of force are $\mathrm{ML} / \mathrm{T}^{2}$. Apart from dimensionless factors, how does acceleration depend on mass and force?
