A body of mass 60 kg is suspended by means of three strings P Q and R as shown in the figure is in equilibrium. The tension in the string P is

  

  • 130.9 g N

  • 60 g N

  • 50 g N

  • 103.9 g N

Solution

D.

103.9 g N

       

       R cos 60o = Q = 60 g

⇒           R = 60 gcos 60o                    cos60o = 12

               P = R sin60o

                   = 120 g × 32

 ⇒           P = 103.9 g N
