To solve the problem of finding the tension in the string OA before and after the string AB is cut, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a particle A suspended by two strings: one string (OA) is attached to the roof at point O, and the other string (AB) is attached to the wall at point B. The particle is in equilibrium before the string AB is cut. ### Step 2: Draw the Free Body Diagram Draw a diagram showing the forces acting on particle A. The forces include: - The tension T1 in the string OA acting at an angle θ from the vertical. ...
