Q.

A body of mass m is suspended by two strings making angles θ1 and θ2 with the horizontal ceiling with tensions T1 and T2 simultaneously. T1 and T2 are related by T1=3T2. The angle θ1 and θ2 are          [2025]

1 θ1=30°, θ2=60° with T2=3mg4  
2 θ1=60°, θ2=30° with T2=mg2  
3 θ1=45°, θ2=45° with T2=3mg4  
4 θ1=30°, θ2=60° with T2=4mg5  

Ans.

(2)

T1sinθ1+T2sinθ2=mg

T1cosθ1=T2cosθ2

3T2cosθ1=T2cosθ2

3cosθ1=cosθ2

For θ1=60°, θ2=30°

3T2·32+T2·12=mg T2=mg2
