CSEC Physics · May/June 2006 · Paper 2 · Question 4(c)(iii)

A cyclist hangs his bicycle with the rear wheel in contact with the ground and the handle attached to a light string as shown in Figure 4. The entire assembly is in equilibrium.

The bicycle has a mass of 20 kg. Use the result you obtained in Part (c) (ii) to determine the tension in the string. [Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m s⁻²]

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
