Question : 13 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

A body of weight 2 kg is suspended as shown in the figure. The tension

T_1

in the horizontal string (in kg wt ) is

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$2\sqrt{3}$
2

Validate

Solution:

The tension in the above string can be divided into two components where the component opposite to weight will balance the weight while the component of this tension opposite to

T_1

will be equal to

T_1

T \sin\theta = 2 \text{kg} w t

T \cos\theta = T_1

The first equation gives

T = 4 \text{kg} w t

T_1

will be,

T_1 = 2\sqrt{3} \text{kg} wt
