The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle `theta` should be

A

`0^(@)`

B

`30^(@)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

`60^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
For equilibrium in vertical direction for body B we have

`sqrt(2) mg = 2T cos theta`
`= 2(mg) cos theta`
`T = mg `(at equilibrium )
`:. Cos theta = (1)/(sqrt(2)) rArr theta = 45^(@)`
