To find the tension in the string, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
The net force acting on the object is the tension in the string, which we want to find. The mass of the object is 5kg and the acceleration is 3m/s^2.
Using the formula F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration, we can plug in the values:
F = 5kg * 3m/s^2
F = 15N
Therefore, the tension in the string when the acceleration of the object is 3m/s^2 is 15N.

According to Newton's Second Law:
Force applied (Tension) = Mass × Acceleration
Tension (T) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
T = 5 kg × 3 m/s²
T = 15 Newtons
Therefore, the tension in the string is 15 Newtons.
