The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the horizontal component of the force and then use Newton's second law to find the acceleration of the body. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Values - Force (F) = 50 N - Angle with the vertical (θ) = 30° - Mass (m) = 2 kg ### Step 2: Determine the Horizontal Component of the Force Since the force is inclined to the vertical, we need to find the horizontal component of the force. The horizontal component (F_horizontal) can be calculated using the sine function: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = F \cdot \sin(θ) \] Substituting the values: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = 50 \cdot \sin(30°) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Value of sin(30°) We know that: \[ \sin(30°) = \frac{1}{2} \] So, substituting this value: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = 50 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 25 \text{ N} \] ### Step 4: Apply Newton's Second Law According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a). We can rearrange this to find acceleration (a): \[ a = \frac{F_{\text{horizontal}}}{m} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ a = \frac{25 \text{ N}}{2 \text{ kg}} = 12.5 \text{ m/s}^2 \] ### Final Answer The acceleration produced in the body is: \[ \boxed{12.5 \text{ m/s}^2} \] ---
