Classical Mechanics Level 5

A light string carrying a small bob of mass 5×10−2 kg5\times10^{-2}\text{ kg} hangs from the roof of a moving vehicle. The vehicle moves down an incline making an angle of 30∘30^\circ with the horizontal with a constant acceleration of 3 m/s23\text{ m/s}^2.

To the nearest degree, what angle will the string make with the vertical?
