A particle of mass 0.3 kg is held at rest by two light inextensible strings. One string is attached at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to a horizontal ceiling. The other string is attached at an angle \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\) to a vertical wall (see diagram). The tension in the string attached to the ceiling is 4 N .
Find the tension in the string which is attached to the wall and find the value of \(\alpha\).
