$A$ string $AB$ of unstretched length $L$ is stretched by applying a force $F$ at the mid-point $C$ such that the segments $AC$ and $BC$ make an angle $\theta$ with $AB$ as shown in the figure. The string may be considered as an elastic element with a force to elongation ratio $K$. The force $F$ is given by

  • A
    $K L(1-\tan \theta) \sin \theta$
  • B
    $2 K L(1-\cos \theta) \tan \theta$
  • C
    $K L(1-\cos \theta) \tan \theta$
  • D
    $2 K L(1-\sin \theta) \tan \theta$
