One end of a light string is fixed to the celling and the other end is tied to the wall. A body of mass 500 g is suspended from that string in such a way that the part of the string towards the wall remains horizontal and the portion towards the ceiling makes an angle of 30^(@) with the ceiling. Find the tension on the two parts of the string.

Two houses stand just on the opposite sides of a road of a village. A ladder that stands against the wall of the first house is at a distance of 6 metres from the house and makes an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal line.But if the ladder stands against the wall of the second house keeping its foot at the same point, it makes an angle of 60^(@) with the horizontal line. (a) Find the length of the ladder. (b) Calculate the distance of the foot of the ladder from the foot of the wall of the second house. (c) Find the width of the road. Find the height where the top of the ladder is fixed against the wall of the second house.
