The diagram shows a smooth ring R, of mass m kg, threaded on a light inextensible string. A horizontal force of magnitude 2 N acts on R. The ends of the string are attached to fixed points A and B on a vertical wall. The part AR of the string makes an angle of 30° with the vertical, the part BR makes an angle of 40° with the vertical and the string is taut. The ring is in equilibrium.

Find the tension in the string and find the value of m.
