Question

A particle, P, of mass 1.5 kg s attached to two light inextensible strings, AP and BP. The points A and B are on

the same horizontal level and are 39 m apart. The strings AP and BP are of length 15 cm and 36 cm respectively. The particle hangs in equilibrium with angle APB = 90°. Find the tension, in newtons, correct to one decimal place, in each of the strings AP
and BP.
