Answer:

Mass, m = 30 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Acceleration of a cart,
$a=2\ m/s^2$

Force applied, is 60 N

It is required to find the mass of the cart.

The formula of the force acting on the cart is :

F=ma

m is mass of the cart

$m=(F)/(a)\\\\m=(60\ N)/(2\ m/s^2)\\\\m=30\ kg$

So, the mass of the cart is 30 kg.
