A string is wrapped around a log of wood and it is pulled with a force F as shown in
(b) How does the value of tension T in the string change with `theta` when will the tension T be greater than applied force?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
T inccreases as `thetha` increases `theta gt pi//3`
`2T cos theta =F`
`T=F/(2 cos theta) gt F`
`rArrcos theta lt 1/2`
`:. theta gt pi/3`
