A light inextensible string of length 15 m is hanging between two pegs that are 9 m horizontally apart as shown A small frictionless pulley of weight W 4 8 N supporting a block of weight W 8 0 N is gently placed on the string and allowed to move gradually to a place on the string where it can stay in equilibrium Radius of the pulley wheel is negligible as compared to the length of the string Which of the following conclusions can you make when the pulley is in equilibrium a Level difference of the pegs is 4 0 m b Tensile force in the string depends on the level difference of the pegs e Tensile force in the string is 8 0 N irrespective of the level difference of the pegs d Lengths of string segments on left and right sides of the pulley are 10 m and 5 0 m respectively Newton s Laws of Motion 25 Pulley suppor ting the block
