6947

A particle of weight 10 N is attached to one end of a light elastic string. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(A\) on a horizontal ceiling. A horizontal force of 7.5 N acts on the particle. In the equilibrium position, the string makes an angle \(\theta\) with the ceiling (see diagram). The string has natural length 0.8 m and modulus of elasticity 50 N .
(a) Find the tension in the string.

(b) Find the vertical distance between the particle and the ceiling.
