A body of weight 2 kg is suspended as shown in the figure. The tension `T_(1)` in the horizontal string (in kg wt ) is

A

`2//sqrt(3)`

B

`sqrt(3)//2`

C

`2sqrt(3)`

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`T cos 60^(@) = 20 `
`rArr T = 40 N `
`T sin 60^(@) = T_(1)`
`rArr T_(1) = 40 xx (sqrt(3))/(2) = 20sqrt(3)`
` rArr T_(1) = 2 sqrt(3)` kg wt
