How do I isolate the mass?
Newton's second law
Fnet= Ft + Fg
ma= Ft + mg
Thank You

Welcome to PF,
Just follow the rules of algebra. A good first step is to move all terms that have the mass in them to one side of the equation. Factor out m from these terms, and then divide both sides of the equation by the stuff that multiplies m, so that m is now by itself.

So it would be like
m=Ft/a-g
Am I right?
m=Ft/a-g
Am I right?
