Questions  

A string is wrapped round a log of wood and it is pulled with a force F as shown in the figure. Choose the correct statement(s)

I. Tension T in the string decreases with increases in θ.
II. Tension T>F if θ>π/3

a
only (I) is true
b
both are true
c
only (II) is true
d
both are wrong

detailed solution

Correct option is C

2Tcos⁡θ=F⇒T=F2cos⁡θif θ↑, then cos⁡θ↓, so T↑and if T>F, then 2cos⁡θ<1⇒θ>π3
