JEE Main 2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 2, Physics question 51

A mass of 10 kg is suspended vertically by a rope of length 5 m from the roof. A force of 30 N is applied at the middle point of rope in horizontal direction. The angle made by upper half of the rope with vertical is θ=tan⁡−1(x×10−1)\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(x\times10^{-1}\right). The value of xx is ______.

(Given, g=10g=10 m/s2^2)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 3

Upper half of the rope. Horizontal tension 30 N, vertical 100 N (the massless rope carries the 10 kg).

Angle. tan⁡θ=0.3=3×10−1\tan\theta=0.3=3\times10^{-1}.

Answer: 3
