As shown in figure the tension in the horizontal cord is 30 N. The weight W and tension in the string OA in Newton are

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B

From the figure \(T \sin 30^\circ = 30\) …(i)
\(T \cos 30^\circ = W\) … (ii)
By solving equation (i) and (ii) we get
\(W = 30 \sqrt{3N}\) and \(T = 60\,\mathrm{N}\)
