JAMB - Physics (1997 - No. 43)

For what value of \(\theta\) are the forces in the diagram above in equilibrium

\( 15^{\circ} \)
\( 30^{\circ} \)
\( 45^{\circ} \)
\( 60^{\circ} \)

Explanation

So the diagram in the question is compressed to the one above.

From the diagram: Cos\(\theta\) = \(\frac{6}{12}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\theta\) = Cos\(^{-1}\)(0.5) = 60º
