The strength of the force \(F\) acting on a body increases from \(0\) to \(F_{1} = 10 \text{ N}\) at the constant rate of \(10 \text{ Ns}^{-1}\).
During this time, the body, starting from a standstill, reaches the speed of \(v = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}\).
Calculate the mass of the body in \(\text{kg}\).
