Answer #1

(a)

Take Moment about O

ANSWER:

=====================

(b) ANSWER: Tension increases

When a shorter string is used ,the hypotenuse is reduced ,that means the angle string make with beam is reduced.

The Value of decreases when decreases ,so a larger Tension is required to keep the beam in equilibrium, since the

Sine Component of Tension is acting opposite to weight of beam

======

(c)Is the string length is 2.5 m
