See the figure given below. $A$ mass of $6 \; kg$ is suspended by a rope of length $2 \; m$ from the ceiling. $A$ force of $50 \; N$ in the horizontal direction is applied at the midpoint $P$ of the rope,as shown. What is the angle the rope makes with the vertical in equilibrium (in $^{\circ}$)? (Take $g = 10 \; m s^{-2}$). Neglect the mass of the rope.

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $75$
  • D
    $60$
