Mayank is doing an experiment in the lab with a bob of mass 10 Kg and a string of 6 m. He tied a string with the laboratory roof and another end with the bob. He then tied another string at 3 m below the roof with the previous one as shown in the figure. Find the tension T1 in the string? g =10 m/s2

He then tied another string at 3 m below the roof with the previous one as shown in the figure. Find the tension T1 in the string? g =10 m/s2 Correct Answer -50√2 N
CONCEPT:
- Equilibrium: It is a state of a body in which overall change in a body is zero.
- Translational Equilibrium: A body is said to be in translational equilibrium if the net sum of all the forces (F) acting on a body is zero.
Σ F = 0
Fnet = 0
F1 + F2 + F3+ ............... + Fn = 0
- Rotational Equilibrium: A body is said to be in rotational equilibrium if the net sum of all the torque (τ) acting on a body is zero.
Σ τ = 0
τnet = 0
τ1 +τ2 + τ3 + .................. + τn = 0
CALCULATION:
Given: m = 10 Kg; g = 10 m/s2
- First draw the FBD of the given figure
- For the system to be in equilibrium T1 must be equal to the horizontal component but the direction must be opposite.
- Here the direction of T1 is reversed for balancing the horizontal component.
T2 = 50√2 N
T1 = -50√2 N
- So, the value of T1 is -50√2 N
- Negative sign only show the direction of T1
Hence option 1 is correct
Additional Information
- Solving the numerical problem on the equilibrium of forces always draws the FBD (Fee Body Diagram).
- A simplified version of the body on which all external forces are shown is called FBD (Fee Body Diagram) of the given body.
