  1. A \(M g\)
  2. B \(M g \sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(M g(\sqrt{3}+1)\)
  4. D \(\frac{M g}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(M g \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Newton's law \[ \begin{gathered} F=T \sin \theta \\ M g=T \cos \theta \end{gathered} \] Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get…
