$A$ mass $M$ is suspended by a rope from a rigid support at $A$ as shown in the figure. Another rope is tied at point $B$,and it is pulled horizontally with a force $F$. If the string $AB$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical in equilibrium,then the tension in the string $AB$ is:

  • A
    $F / \sin \theta$
  • B
    $F \sin \theta$
  • C
    $F \cos \theta$
  • D
    $F / \cos \theta$
