Question: As shown in figure the tension in the horizontal cord is 30 N. The weight W and tension in the string OA in Newton are

[DPMT 1992]

Options:

A) 30 $ \sqrt{3}, $ 30

B) 30 $ \sqrt{3}, $ 60

C) 60 $ \sqrt{3}, $ 30

D) None of these

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

From the figure $ T,\sin 30^{o}=30 $ ?(i) $ T\cos 30^{o}=W $ ?(ii) By solving equation (i) and (ii) we get $ W=30\sqrt{3}N $ and $ T=60N $
