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 9 kg, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s". When the same force acts upon another object, its acceleration is 3 m/s“. What is the mass of this object? I| kg
