xplanation:
For a string to be almost horizontal, the angle of inclination of the string θ will be very small
[Created with Chemix (https://chemix.org)]
The piece of metal is stationary, so W=2Tsinθ
For very small inclination angle θ, sinθ will be very small
For the above equation to be valid; the value of the tension T in the string must be very high. T >> W
Which means that the mass of the block must be higher than the mass of the metal. So m>gW
