The diagram shows a ring of mass 2 kg threaded on a fixed rough vertical rod. A light string is attached to the ring and is pulled upwards at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. The tension in the string is \(T\) N. The coefficient of friction between the ring and the rod is 0.24. Find the two values of \(T\) for which the ring is in limiting equilibrium.
