‘The horizontal uniform rod shown above has length 0,60 m and mass 2.0 kg. The left end of the rod is attached
10 a vertical support by a frictionless hinge that allows the rod to swing up or down. The right end of the rod is
‘.cord that makes an angle of 30° with the rod. A spring scale of negligible mass measures the
supported by
tension in the cord. A 0.50 kg block is also attached to the right end of the rod.
(2) On the diagram below, draw and label vectors to represent all the forces acting on the rod. Show each force

(6) Calculate the reading on the spring scale, which isthe tension in the cord, This is the same type of problem

5. Arodof ae mass is pivoted at a point that is off-center, so that length I ; is different from length ls.
The figures above show two cases in which masses are suspended from the ends of the rod. In each case
the unknown mass m is balanced by a known mass, My or Ms, so that the rod remains horizontal, What is
the value of m in terms of the known masses?

6. A system of two wheels fixed to each other is free to rotate about frictionless axis through the common
center of the wheels and perpendicular to the page. Four forces are exerted tangentially to the rims of the
wheels, as shown above. The magnitude of the net torque on the system about the axis is
