Option a is the correct answer

When the temperature of the rock rises above the melting point of minerals present in the rock results in melting of rock.

Rock contains different types of minerals having different melting points. Thus, not all the parts of rock melts at same time. Some of the minerals melt at high temperatures whereas some of the minerals melt at low temperatures. Hence, decrease in melting temperature and increase in melting temperatures due to water depends upon the composition of rock.

The formula for force is F=ma. Because weight is a measure of force, then we can substitute the weight of the meteor, 3204 N, for F in the the equation for force. We also know that the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2. To find the mass, simply divide both sides of the equation by the value of acceleration to get
$m = \frac{f}{a} = \frac{3204}{9.8} = 326.9$
Therefore, the value of the mass of the meteor is 326.9 kg.
