Solution

The correct option is D

25 N


Given,

Mass of the ring m = 10 kg

Radius of ring r = 30 m

Acceleration due to gravity g = 10ms2

Draw all the forces acting on the ring.


Now, For equillibrium, net torque about A = 0
Clockwise torque due to 'mg' = Anticlockwise torque due to 'F'.
mg×10 = F×(10+30)
1000 = F×40
F = 100040 = 25 N
