Answer

$ tan^{-1}\frac{ILB}{mg}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\Sigma F_y=0$ $\implies Tcos\theta-mg=0$ $\implies T=\frac{mg}{cos\theta}$....eq(1) Similarly $\Sigma F_x=0$ $\implies Tsin\theta-ILB=0$ $\implies T=\frac{ILB}{sin\theta}$...eq(2) comparing eq(1) and eq(2), we obtain: $\frac{mg}{cos\theta}=\frac{ILB}{sin\theta}$ $\implies tan\theta=\frac{ILB}{mg}$ $\implies \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{ILB}{mg}$
