A picture frame P of weight W is hung by two strings as shown in the figure. The total upward force on the strings is
2T cosθ
2T sinθ
2W cosθ
Tcosθ
By resolving T,
2Tsinθ=W
Total upward force=2Tsinθ
A block of mass M is pulled on a smooth horizontal table by a string making an angle θ with the horizontal as shown in figure. If the acceleration of the block is 'a', find the force applied by the string and by the table on the block.
