Correct answer: D
- Free body diagram and equilibrium conditions
A mass is suspended by two strings with tensions and making angles and with the horizontal.
Given:
Since the body is in equilibrium:
- Horizontal components must cancel.
- Vertical components must balance the weight .
So,
- Use the given relation in the horizontal balance
From (1):
Now test the angle pairs given in the options.
- Check option A / C:
Then, while
These are not equal, so this angle combination is impossible.
Hence A and C are rejected.
- Check option B:
Then (1) gives: But given: This is not possible.
Hence B is rejected.
- Check option D:
From horizontal equilibrium:
This exactly matches the given condition, so the angle pair is correct.
Now use vertical equilibrium: Substitute :
This matches option D.
- Final answer
The correct option is: with
