उत्तर
The tension in the strings will be least in (b).
Explanation:
Consider the FBD diagram of the rectangular frame
Balancing vertical forces 2T sin θ – mg = 0 ......[T is tension in the string]
⇒ 2T sin θ = mg ......(i)
Total horizontal force = T cos θ – T cos θ = 0
Now from equation (i), T = `(mg)/(2 sin θ)`
As mg is constant
⇒ `T ∝ 1/sin θ`
⇒ `T_(max) = (mg)/(2 sin θ_(min))`
`sin θ_(min)` = 0
⇒ `θ_(min)` = 0
No option matches with θ = 0°
`T_(min) = (mg)/(2 sin θ_(max))` ......(since, sin θmax = 1)
sin θmax = 1
⇒ θ = 90°
Matches with option (b)
Hence, tension is least for case (b).
