A flexible chain of mass \(m\) hangs between two fixed points at the same level. The inclination of the chain with the horizontal at the two points of support is \(30^{\circ}\). Considering the equilibrium of each half of the chain, the tension of the chain at the lowest point is _________ .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} m g\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{Tsin} 30^{\circ}=\frac{ m }{2} g\)
\(T \cos 30^{\circ}= T _0\)
\(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{ mg }{2 T_0}\)
\(T _0=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} mg\)
