When a 86.8 kg object is in free fall, it feels a force of 850.64 N. What is its acceleration?

I usually avoid physics questions but

1N=1kg m/s2

force=mass x acceleration

850.64=86.8*acceleration

acceleration=850.64/86.8

acceleration=9.8m/s2

Which means that the object was probably falling close to sea level on the planet Earth. (I think)
