the figure above shows a wood of mass 50kg held by a rope   which is inclined at 30° to the wood and supported by a wall.  calculate the tension in the rope     (take g = 10ms^(−2) )

please use a smaller font such that  one doesn′t need to scroll horizontally  to read your posts.

T sin 30°=((Mg)/2)  ⇒T=((Mg)/(2 sin 30°))=((50×10)/(2×0.5))=500 N
$${T}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}°=\frac{{Mg}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{T}=\frac{{Mg}}{\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}°}=\frac{\mathrm{50}×\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{500}\:{N} \\ $$

but sir why did you take  Tsin30° and not sin30°
$${but}\:{sir}\:{why}\:{did}\:{you}\:{take}\:\:{Tsin}\mathrm{30}°\:{and}\:{not}\:{sin}\mathrm{30}°\: \\ $$

and  sin30° = ((mg)/T)  right?
$${and}\:\:{sin}\mathrm{30}°\:=\:\frac{{mg}}{{T}}\:\:{right}? \\ $$

the rope carries half of the weight  of the wood, to be exact, the vertical  component of the tension in the rope  carries half the the weight of the  wood. the vertical component of the  tension is T sin 30°, thus  T sin 30°=((Mg)/2)
$${the}\:{rope}\:{carries}\:{half}\:{of}\:{the}\:{weight} \\ $$$${of}\:{the}\:{wood},\:{to}\:{be}\:{exact},\:{the}\:{vertical} \\ $$$${component}\:{of}\:{the}\:{tension}\:{in}\:{the}\:{rope} \\ $$$${carries}\:{half}\:{the}\:{the}\:{weight}\:{of}\:{the} \\ $$$${wood}.\:{the}\:{vertical}\:{component}\:{of}\:{the} \\ $$$${tension}\:{is}\:{T}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}°,\:{thus} \\ $$$${T}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}°=\frac{{Mg}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
