The correct answer is: $10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~kg}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} & =6 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-8 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\
|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}| & =\sqrt{6^2+8^2+10^2}=10 \sqrt{2} \\
\mathrm{~m} & =\frac{|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}|}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{1}=10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~kg}
\end{aligned}
$$
