A right triangular plate ABC of mass m is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through A . It is supported by a string such that the side AB is horizontal. The reaction at the support A is
Options
- Am g 3
- B2 m g 3
- Cm g 2
- Dm g
Correct answer
B. 2 m g 3
Step-by-step solution
For equilibrium of torque about A, m g l 3 = T l or T = m g 3 For verticle equilibrium of plate, R A + T = m g ∴ R A = 2 m g 3
