Shown in the figure is rigid and uniform one meter long rod AB held in horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling . The rod is of mass 'm' and has another weight of mass 2 m hung at a distance of 75 cm from A . The tension in the string at A is :

A

`0.5` mg

B

2 mg

C

`0.75` mg

D

1 mg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Net torque about B= 0
implies `Txx100=mgxx50+2mgxx25`
implies T=1 mg
