JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 20)
An L-shaped object, made of thin rods of uniform mass density, is suspended with a string as shown in figure. If AB = BC, and the angle made by AB with downward vertical is $$\theta $$, thrown :

tan$$\theta $$ = $${1 \over {2\sqrt 3 }}$$
tan$$\theta $$ = $${1 \over 2}$$
tan$$\theta $$ = $${2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$$
tan$$\theta $$ = $${1 \over 3}$$
Explanation

Assume mass of each part = m
Here, $${{{C_1}R} \over {{C_1}A}} = \sin \theta $$
$$ \therefore $$ C1R = C1A(sin$$\theta $$)
= $${1 \over 2}$$ sin$$\theta $$
$${{BY} \over {AB}} = \sin \theta $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ BY = Lsin$$\theta $$
As By = MP
$$ \therefore $$ MP = Lsin$$\theta $$
$${{{C_2}M} \over {B{C_2}}}$$ = cos$$\theta $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ C2M = BC2cos$$\theta $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ C2M = $${L \over 2}\cos \theta $$
$$ \therefore $$ C2P = C2M $$-$$ MP = $${L \over 2}\cos \theta $$ $$-$$ Lsin$$\theta $$
Now balancing torque about hinge paint A,
mg(C1R) = mg(C2P)
$$ \Rightarrow $$ mg$$\left( {{L \over 2}\sin \theta } \right)$$ = mg$$\left( {{L \over 2}\cos \theta - L\sin \theta } \right)$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{\sin \theta } \over 2}$$ = $${{\cos \theta } \over 2} - $$ sin$$\theta $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{3\sin \theta } \over 2}$$ = $${{\cos \theta } \over 2}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ tan$$\theta $$ = $${1 \over 3}$$
