The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the maximum acceleration with which a body of mass 50 kg can be lifted using a rope that has a breaking strength of 60 kg wt. Here's the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the body The forces acting on the body are: - The weight of the body (downward force) - The tension in the rope (upward force) ### Step 2: Calculate the weight of the body The weight \( W \) of the body can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where: - \( m = 50 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the body) - \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) Calculating the weight: \[ W = 50 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 490 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Determine the maximum tension in the rope The breaking strength of the rope is given as 60 kg wt. We need to convert this to Newtons: \[ T_{\text{max}} = 60 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 588 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 4: Apply Newton's second law According to Newton's second law, the net force \( F_{\text{net}} \) acting on the body is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration \( a \): \[ F_{\text{net}} = T - W = m \cdot a \] Rearranging this gives: \[ T - W = m \cdot a \] ### Step 5: Substitute the known values Substituting the values we have: \[ 588 \, \text{N} - 490 \, \text{N} = 50 \, \text{kg} \cdot a \] This simplifies to: \[ 98 \, \text{N} = 50 \, \text{kg} \cdot a \] ### Step 6: Solve for acceleration \( a \) Now, we can solve for \( a \): \[ a = \frac{98 \, \text{N}}{50 \, \text{kg}} = 1.96 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Conclusion The maximum acceleration with which the body can be pulled up in the least interval of time is: \[ \boxed{1.96 \, \text{m/s}^2} \]
