A body of mass 1 kg is suspended with the help of two strings making angles as shown in figure. Magnitude of tensions $$T_1$$ and $$T_2$$, respectively, are (in N) :
Here as the system is in equilibrium
We have to equate horizontal components of both $$T_{1\ }and\ T_2$$ as there is no external Force acting in the horizontal direction
Here horizontal component of $$T_{1\ }is\ T_1\cos60^{\circ\ }$$
Here horizontal component of $$T_{2\ }is\ T_2\cos30^{\circ\ }$$
Equate these 2
$$T_2\cos60^{\circ\ }=\ T_1\cos30^{\circ\ }$$
$$T_2\times\ \frac{\sqrt{\ 3}}{2}=\ T_1\times\ \frac{1}{2}$$
$$T_1\ =\ \sqrt{\ 3}T_2$$
Now coming to the Vertical direction
There is gravitational force downwards which is Mg and vertical components of $$T_{1\ }and\ T_2$$ add up and are opposing the force due to gravitation
so $$Mg=\ T_1\sin\theta\ \ +\ T_2\sin\ \ \theta\ $$
$$Mg=\ T_1\times\ \frac{\sqrt{\ 3}}{2}\ +\ T_2\ \times\ \frac{1}{2}$$
Substituting $$T_1\ =\ \sqrt{\ 3}T_2$$ in that equation
$$Mg=\ \sqrt{\ 3}T_2\times\ \frac{\sqrt{\ 3}}{2}\ +\ T_2\ \times\ \frac{1}{2}$$
$$Mg=\frac{3T_2}{2}+\frac{T_2}{2}$$
$$Mg=2T_2$$
$$T_2=\frac{g}{2}\ \ \left(as\ M=1\right)$$
$$T_2=5N$$
as $$T_1\ =\ \sqrt{\ 3}T_2$$
$$T_1=5\sqrt{\ 3}N$$
