Answer:
0.231 N
Explanation:
To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
