Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem Problem_60

In Fig. 12.55, a package of mass \( m \) hangs from a short cord that is tied to the wall via cord 1 and to the ceiling via cord 2. Cord 1 is at angle \( \phi = 40^\circ \) with the horizontal; cord 2 is at angle \( \theta \). (a) For what value of \( \theta \) is the tension in cord 2 minimized? (b) In terms of \( mg \), what is the minimum tension in cord 2?
