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 s2)

  1. 20 N
  2. 25 N
  3. 10 N
  4. 15 N

Solution

From geometry, θ=30°.

For equilibrium,

Tcosθ=mg

T=mgcos30°T=3×1032

T=20 N
