A metal sphere is hung by a string fixed to a wall. The forces acting on the sphere are shown in figure. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. $\vec{N} + \vec{T} + \vec{W} = 0$

b. $T^{2} = N^{2} + W^{2}$

c. $T = N + W$

d. $N = W \tan θ$

As the object is in equilibrium, the net force is zero N → + T → + W → = 0 Also from the diagram, T 2 = N 2 + W 2 From components, N = W tan ⁡ θ
