Detailed Solution

The mass of the body is

100 kg

.
Given data and assumptions:
The weight of the object on the planet is,

W = 490 N

Accelleration due to gravity of the planet is

g_{p} = \frac{1}{2} \times g_{e}

The value of

g_{e}

at the surface of the earth is

9.8 m / s^{2}

. So, the value of

g_{p}

on the planet will be,

g_{p} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8

= 4.9 m / s^{2}

Thus,
Weight of an object is calculated as,

W = m \times g

490 = m \times 4.9

m = \frac{490}{4.9}

m = 100 kg
