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. \(45^\circ\)
4. \(60^\circ\)
