Problem

A plumb bob of mass 1 kg1\text{ kg} is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. The train moves on an inclined plane with constant velocity. If the angle of incline is 30∘30^\circ, find the angle made by the string with the normal to the ceiling. Also, find the tension in the string. Take g=10 m/s2g=10\text{ m/s}^2.
