A rope of mass M is hanged from two support 'A' & 'B' as shown in figure. Maximum and minimum tension in the rope is –
A
, 
B
Mg, Mg cosθ 1
C
, 
D
, 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Free body diagram of rope AB −
T A cos θ 1 = T B cos θ 2
T A sin θ 1 + T B sin θ 2 = Mg
∴ T A = 
T B = 
Free body diagram of point AC –
Horizontal equilibrium:
T A cos θ 1 = T C
∴ T C = 
Tension will be maximum at A and minimum at C.
