Q. A weight can be hung in any of the following four ways by string of same type. In which case is the string most likely to break?Physics Question Image

Laws of Motion

Solution:

String will break easily if the tension in the string is more.
$2 \cos \theta= W$

$T =\frac{ w }{2 \cos \theta}$
$\therefore $ as $\theta$ increases, $\cos \theta$ decreases, $T$ increases
