A body of weight 150N is supported by a thin cord attached to a point in the ceiling .another cord is attached to the weight and pulled horizontally until the supporting cord makes an angle of 30° with the vertical . Draw the diagram of the arrangement and calculate the tension in each string

Answer 1

Tc ceiling string, Th horizontal string
vertical components
up down
Tc cos 30 = 150
horizontal
Th = Tc sin 30
so
Tc = 150 / .866
Th =half of that

Answer 2
