A scientific research drone, hovering at a fixed altitude, releases a small atmospheric probe from rest.

Point Q Q\,Q is located 10 m vertically below the release point PPP.

As the probe passes through point QQQ, its downward momentum is measured to be 4.2 kg m s-1.

Assuming there is no air resistance, calculate the mass of the probe.

(Take the acceleration due to gravity, ggg, to be 9.8 m s-2.)
