The diagram shows two particles, A and B, of masses 0.2kg and 0.1 kg respectively. The particles are suspended below a horizontal ceiling by two strings, AP and BQ, attached to fixed points P and Q on the ceiling. The particles are connected by a horizontal string, AB. Angle APQ = 45° and BQP = θ°. Each string is light and inextensible. The particles are in equilibrium. [Figure 4]
