Two forces act on the either side of the rigid body of negligible mass suspended by string as shown in figure. If R is the force to balance then R will be:

Options

A. 26 g wt
B. 41 g wt
C. 82 g wt
D. 16 g wt

Answer

C

Explanation

As the forces 32 g wt and 50 g wt are in the same direction, the resultant force R is
R = 32 g wt + 50 g wt = 82 g wt
Since the body is in equilibrium, T = R = 82 g wt
