Figure here shows a ball of weight W hanging at the end of a light and inextensible string of length L.A
force F, which is always kept horizontal, is applied to push the ball sideways, and its value is very slowly
varied corresponding to rise h of the ball (for angle shown). Such a process is called quasistatic
process. The force is increased so slowly that the ball may be treated to be in equilibrium under the
forces T, W and F all the time, where T is the tension in the string. Now answer the following questions:
