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. If the train moves with an acceleration a along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan^1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined 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 looking 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.
