Four bars are joined together to form a rhombus. The bars are uniform
and each bar is of weight W. A rhombus is suspended vertically from
one of the joints and a spherical ball of weight S is balanced inside the
rhombus so as to keep the system intact.
If 20 is the angle at a fixed joint in the state of equilibrium, then find the
ratio of weight of the rhombus to that of the spherical ball in terms of
the radius of the sphere, the length of a bar and the angle ’.
