Question
The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of three adult elephants. Suppose that a crane is lifting a whale shark into a tank for delivery into an aquarium.

Solution
The information given in the problem includes the force (F) exerted by the crane, which is 25,000 N, and the acceleration (a) at which the crane is lifting the shark, which is 1.25 m/s². The mass (m) of the shark is what we are trying to find.
The equation we will use to find the answer is F = m * a. This is Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
To find the mass of the shark, we will rearrange the equation to solve for m: m = F / a.
Substituting the given values into the equation, we get m = 25,000 N / 1.25 m/s².
Now, we just need to perform the division to find the mass of the shark.
