a= Net pulling force  Total mass  =2mgsin30°2m+m=g3 

Question Image

FBD of m

T=m a=m g / 3

Question Image

Resultant of tensions

R=-Tcos30°i^-Tsin30°+Tj^

PuttingT=mg/3

R=-36mgi^-mg2j^

Since, pulley P is in equilibrium. Therefore,

F+R=0

where, F= force applied by clamp on pulley

 

  F=-R=mg6(3i^+3j^)
