A massless rod of length L = 3.6 m stands up straight, fixed to the ground by a bolt. A horizontal force of 5.5 N is applied at a vertical distance of L/2 to the right. To counter this force and keep the rod stationary, a wire is fixed at the top of the r...

Suppose you’re building a contraption which contains a solid rod of length L = 12.5 m and mass 4.9 kg. This rod has its lower end barely above the ground at an angle of 20.6 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and is ultimately held up by a rope conne...

Two scales support a massless plank from either end, separated by 3 m. A person, whose height is less than 3 m, lies down on the plank with their head on the leftmost scale. The leftmost scale reads 314 N, and the rightmost scale reads 112 N. (a) Calculat...

It can't be factored.
