A particle P of mass 2.1 kg is attached to one end of each of two light inextensible strings. The other ends of the strings are attached to points A and B which are at the same horizontal level. P hangs in equilibrium at a point 40 cm below the level of A and B, and the strings PA and PB have lengths 50 cm and 104 cm respectively (see diagram). Show that the tension in the string PA is 20 N, and find the tension in the string PB.
