Question

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

• A. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
• B. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
• C. $2\sqrt{3}$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2\sqrt{3}$


$T\sin 30=2kgwt\Rightarrow T=4kgwt{T}_1=T\cos {30}^0=4\cos {30}^0=2\sqrt{3}kgwt$
