a particle of weight 24n is held in equilibrium by two light strings. One is horizontal and the other is inclined at an angle a to the horizontal. The tension in the horizontal string is 12N. find the angle and the tension in the inclined string.

Question

a particle of weight 24n is held in equilibrium by two light strings. One is horizontal and the other is inclined at an angle a to the horizontal. The tension in the horizontal string is 12N.  find the angle and the tension in the inclined string.

anonymous · Answer

is the tension in the string is 12*sqrt(5) Newton

anonymous · Answer

and is the angle of of inclination = arc tan 2    with the horzontal
