Answer:
4 m/
Explanation:
From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.
The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.
Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;
20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;
Acceleration = which gives 4.
Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.
LHS means Left Hand Side.
