 A mass of M kg is suspended by a weightless string. The horizontal force that is required to displace it until the string makes an angle of 450 with the initial vertical direction is

a
Mg(2+1)
b
Mg2
c
Mg/2
d
Mg(2−1)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The situation is shown in fig. (9)The constant force F required to take the body from position 1 to position 2 can be calculated by applying work-energy theorem. We assume that the body is taken slowly so that its speed doesn't change, i.e.ΔK=0WF+WMg+Wtension =0 Hero  WF=F×lsin⁡45∘ WMg=Mgl−lcos⁡45∘ Wtension =0 F×lsin⁡45∘+Mgl−lcos⁡45∘=0 or F=Mg(2−1)
