Problem

A mass of 10 kg is suspended vertically by a rope from the roof. When a horizontal force is applied on the rope at some point, the rope deviated at an angle of 45∘45^\circ at the roof point. If the suspended mass is at equilibrium, the magnitude of the force applied is ( g=10 ms−2g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2} ) (1) 200 N (2) 140 N (3) 70 N (4) 100 N
