Question 1 Report



From the above figure, a uniform meter rule is suspended by two cords from a height. Calculate T?

Answer Details

T x 80 + 15 x 10 = W x 50

80T + 150 = 50W - - -- - - - - -(1)

T + 15 = W  - - - - - - - - - - - (2)

80T + 150 = 50(T + 15)

80T + 150 = 50T + 750

30T = 750 - 150

30T = 600

T = 20N

The closest option is 19.2N
