A mass of \(6~\text{kg}\) is suspended by a rope of negligible mass and a length of \(2~\text{m}\) from the ceiling. A force of \(60~\text{N}\) in the horizontal direction is applied at the mid-point \(P\) of the rope (see figure). The angle the rope makes with the vertical in equilibrium is:
(take \(g=10~\text{ms}^{-2}\))
               
1. \(15^\circ\)
2. \(30^\circ\)
3. \(45^\circ\)

A curve in a level road has a radius of \(75\) m. The maximum speed of a car turning this curved road can be \(30\) m/s without skidding. If the radius of the curved road is changed to \(48\) m and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road remains the same, then the maximum allowed speed would be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(24\) m/s
3. \(32\) m/s
4. \(44\) m/s
