  1. A rigid ball of weight 100 N is suspended with the help of a string. The ball is pulled by a horizontal force F such that the string makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. The magnitude of force F(in N) is ______.

    1. 75.47 N
    2. 157.47 N
    3. 57.74 N
    4. 7.74 N
Correct Option: C


Applying Lami’s theorem

100
=
F
=
T
sin 120°sin(60° + 90°)sin 90°

F = 57.74 N
