A bar of uniform cross section and weighing 100 N is held

Home » Engineering Mechanics » Engineering Mechanics Miscellaneous » Question

A bar of uniform cross section and weighing 100 N is held horizontally using two massless and inextensible strings S₁ and S₂ as shown in the figure.

1. T₁ = 100 N and T₂ = 0 N
2. T₁ = 0 N and T₂ = 100 N
3. T₁ = 75 N and T₂ = 25 N
4. T₁ = 25 N and T₂ = 75 N

Correct Option: B

T₁ + T₂ = 100 N
∑ M_A = 0

T₂.	L	= 100 ×	L
	2		2

T₂ = 100 N
T₁ = 0 N
