Adjoining figure shows a force of $40\, N$ acting at $30^o$ to the horizontal on a body of mass $5 \,kg$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. Assuming that the acceleration of free-fall is $10\, ms^{-2}$, which of the following statements is (are) correct?

$[1]$ The horizontal force acting on the body is $20\, N$

$[2]$ The weight of the $5\, kg$ mass acts vertically downwards

$[3]$ The net vertical force acting on the body is $30\, N$
