The rods are rigidly joined to form a right-angled triangular frame \(A B C\). The frame is hinged at \(B\) to a fixed point and is held in equilibrium, with \(A C\) horizontal, by means of an inextensible string attached at \(C\). The string is at right angles to \(B C\) and the tension in the string is \(T \mathrm {~N}\) (see diagram).

1. Find the value of \(T\). A uniform triangular lamina \(P Q R\), of weight 60 N , has the same size and shape as the frame \(A B C\). The lamina is now attached to the frame with \(P , Q\) and \(R\) at \(A , B\) and \(C\) respectively. The composite body is held in equilibrium with \(A , B\) and \(C\) in the same positions as before. Find
2. the new value of \(T\),
3. the magnitude of the vertical component of the force acting on the composite body at \(B\).
