    This is a Short Answer type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Explanation- in equilibrium, The force mgsin θ acting on the block A is parallel to the plane should be balanced by the tension in the string

    mgsin θ = T = F

    and for block B, w=T=F

     from these two above equation 

    w=mgsin θ = 100sin30= 100 (1/2)=50N
