CORRECT QUESTION -
A body of mass 4 kg is moved in a vertical plane
with sufficient speed.
When the string makes an angle 30° with the downward vertical.
The tangential acceleration of the body is?
CONCEPT USED -
Rotational Motion
SOLUTION -
From the above Question , we can gather the following information...
A body of mass 4 kg is moved in a vertical plane
with sufficient speed.
We have to find the tangential acceleration of the body When the string makes an angle 30° with the downward vertical.
For the required F.B.D of the body and the depiction of the various forces acting on the body , please refer to the attachment above.
The tangencial acceleration refers to the acceleration of the body along a tangent at the point where the string breaks.
The force acting along that component is m × g × sin ( 30° )
=> 4 kg × g × ( 1 / 2 )
=> 2g
So the required tangencial acceleration of the body at that point is 2g.
ANSWER -.
The required tangencial acceleration of the body at that point is 2g.

How to determine the X and Y components of any force acting at an angle to the horizontal
Suppose that a force , F is acting along an angle, made with the horizontal on a object.
The Horizontal Or The X component of the force :
The Vertical Or The Y component of the force :

Given :-
- A body of mass 4 kg is moved in a vertical plane with sufficient speed.
- The string makes an angle 30° with the downward vertical.
To find :-
The tangential acceleration of the body.
Solution :-
The tangent is divided into x-component and y-component.
Tangential acceleration = g*sinθ
(The value of mass is not required here)
= 9.8 * sin30°
= 9.8 * 1/2
= 4.9 m/s²
See the attachment.
Point to remember :-
When it comes to θ, it becomes cosθ, and when it comes to (90 - θ), it becomes sinθ.
