Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{82}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{h}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~T} \cos \theta}{\rho \mathrm{gr}}=\frac{2 \times 70 \times 1}{1 \times 980 \times 10^{-2}} \\ & \mathrm{~h}=\frac{100}{7} \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\ell} \\ & \ell=\frac{\mathrm{h} \times 2}{\sqrt{3}} \\ & \ell=\frac{100}{7} \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \\ & =\frac{200}{7 \times \sqrt{3}} \\ & =16.49 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
