A smooth ring R of mass 0.2 kg is threaded on a light string ARB. The ends of the string are attached to fixed points A and B with A vertically above B. The string is taut and angle ABR = 90°. The angle between the part AR of the string and the vertical is 60°. The ring is held in equilibrium by a force of magnitude X N, acting on the ring in a direction perpendicular to AR (see diagram).

Calculate the tension in the string and the value of X.
