The diagram is that of a light inextensible string of length 4.2m, whose ends are attached to two fixed points X and Y, 3m apart, and on the same horizontal level. A body of mass 800g is hung on the string at a point O, 2.4m from Y. If the system is kept in equilibrium by a horizontal force P acting on the body and the tensions are equal, calculate:
(a) < XOY;
(b) the magnitude of the force P;
(c) the tension T in the string.
