    A weight W is supported by two cables as shown. The tension in the cable making angle \[\theta \] with horizontal will be the minimum when the value of \[\theta \] is.

    A) 0          

    B)         \[30{}^\circ \]   

    C) \[60{}^\circ \]                

    D) \[45{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{T}_{2}}\sin \theta +{{T}_{1}}\sin 60{}^\circ =W\] \[{{T}_{1}}\cos 60{}^\circ ={{T}_{2}}\cos \theta \] \[{{T}_{2}}\sin \theta +{{T}_{2}}\cos \theta .\tan 60{}^\circ =W\] \[{{T}_{2}}(\sin \theta +\sqrt{3}\cos \theta )=W\] \[2{{T}_{2}}(\sin 30{}^\circ \sin \theta +\cos 30{}^\circ \cos \theta )=W\] \[\cos \left( 30{}^\circ -\theta  \right)\text{ is maximum}\] \[\text{If }30{}^\circ -\theta =0;\text{ }\theta =\text{30}{}^\circ \]
