JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 7th January Evening Slot - No. 11)

A mass of 10 kg is suspended by a rope of length 4 m, from the ceiling. A force F is applied horizontally at the mid point of the rope such that the top half of the rope makes an angle of 45o with the vertical. Then F equal : (Take g = 10 ms–2 and the rope to be massless)
100 N
75 N
90 N
70 N

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Evening Slot Physics - Laws of Motion Question 96 English Explanation
For equilibrium,

T sin 45o = F ....(1)

and T cos 45o = 10g ....(2)

Performing (1)/(2)

we get F = 10g = 100 N
