A plumb bob of mass `1 kg` is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment.The train moves on an inclined plane with constant velocity. If the angle of inclined is `30^(@)`.Find the angle made by the string with the normal to the ceiling .Also ,Find the tension in the string `(g = 10 m//s^(2))`

A

`30^(@)`

B

`tan^(-1)(2//sqrt(3))`

C

`tan^(-1)(sqrt(3)//2)`

D

`tan^(-1)(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`T sin theta-mg sin 30^(@)=ma`
`implies T sin theta =mg sin 30^(@)+mg//2` …(i)
`T cos theta=mg cos 30^(@)` …(ii)

Dividing Eqs. (i) by (ii), we get
`tan theta=(2)/(sqrt(3))`.

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. The train moves on an inclined track of inclination 30^(@) with horizontal. Acceleration of train up the plane is a=g//2 . The angle which the string supporting the bob makes with normal to the ceiling in equilibrium is.

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration a along a straight horizontal track, the stirng suporting the bob makes an angle tan^1 (a/g) with the normkal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform moves on aninclined straight track with uniform velocity. If the angle of incline is tan^-1(a/g) , the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by lookign at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.
