A uniform cable has a mass of 100 kg and is suspended between two fixed points A and B, at the same horizontal level. At the support points the cable makes angles of as shown in figure. Choose the correct option. (g = 10 m/`s^(2)`)

A

The force exerted on each support is 1000 N

B

The tension in the cable at its lowest point

C

The force exerted on each support is 500 N

D

The tension in the cable at its lowest point is `250 sqrt(N)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As string is balanced
`2T sin 30^(@) = mg implies T = mg`
`T = 100 xx 10 = 1000 N`
