A block of 3 kg is attached to a string whose other end is attached to the wall. An unknown force F is applied so that the string makes an angle of 30 ° with the wall. The tension T is : (Given g = 10 m s – 2 )

Question

A block of 3 kg is attached to a string whose other end is attached to the wall. An unknown force F is applied so that the string makes an angle of 30 ° with the wall. The tension T is : (Given g = 10 m s – 2 ), 20 N, 25 N, 10 N, 15 N

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

From geometry, θ = 30 ° . For equilibrium, T cos θ = m g ⇒ T = m g cos 30 ° ⇒ T = 3 × 10 3 2 ⇒ T = 20 N
