30° 0.2 kg X N A particle of mass 0.2 kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point on a vertical wall. The particle is held in equilibrium by a force of magnitude X N, perpendicular to the string, with the string taut and making an angle of 30° with the wall (see diagram). Find the tension in the string and the value of X. [3]
