A smooth bead Y is threaded on a light 30° inextensible string. The ends of the string are attached to two fixed points X and Z on the same horizontal level. The bead is held in equilibrium by a horizontal force of magnitude 8 N acting parallel to ZX. The bead Y is vertically below X and LXZY = 30° as shown in the figure. 8 N + Y Find a the tension in the string, b the weight of the bead.
