ABCD is a string suspended from points A and D and it carries a weight 20 kg at B and a
weight W kg at C. The portion AB is horizontal and BC and CD make angles of 60° and 30°
with the vertical. Find W and the tensions in the three portions of the string.​

Answer:

First string ABCD is split in to two parts, and consider the joints B and C separately Let, T1 = Tension in String AB.

T2 = Tension in String BC

T3 = Tension in String CD

Since at joint B there are three forces are acting.

SO Apply lamis theorem at joint B,

T1/sin 60° = T2/sin 150° = 1000/sin 150°

T1 = {sin 60° × 1000}/sin 150°

= 1732 N

T2 = {sin150° × 1000}/sin 150°

= 1000N

Again Apply lamis theorem at joint C,

T2/sin 120° = T3/sin 120° = 1000/sin 120°

T3 = {sin 120° × 1000}/sin 120°

= 1000N
