Two particles A and B each of mass m are...

Two particles `A` and `B` each of mass `m` are kept stationary by applying a horizontal force `F = mg` on particle `B` as show in figure .Then

A

`2tan beta=tan alpha`

B

`2T_(1)=5T_(2)`

C

`T_(1)sqrt(2)=T_(2)sqrt(5)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From fig, `T_(2) cos theta =mg, T_(2) sin theta = mg`

`T_(1) sin alpha = mg sqrt(2) sin 45^(@)`
`T_(1) sin alpha =mg implies (cos alpha)/(sin alpha) = (2mg)/(mg)`
`tan alpha = 1/2 implies cos alpha=(2)/(sqrt(5))`
`T_(1)(2)/(sqrt(5)) = 2mg implies T_(1)=mg sqrt(5)`
`(T_1)/(T_2) = (sqrt(5))/(sqrt(2)) implies sqrt(2)T_(1)=sqrt(5) T_(2)`.
