Explanation:

Step1: Recall weight-mass relation

Weight $W = m \cdot g$, where $g = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$ (standard gravitational acceleration).

Step2: Rearrange for mass

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

Step3: Substitute given values

$m = \frac{580.0}{9.81}$

Step4: Calculate the result

$m \approx 59.12$

Answer:

59.12
