Answer:
F = 24 N
Explanation:
In this exercise we have a bar l = 100 m with a center of gravity x = 4 m, which force is needed to lift it from the other end
Let's use the rotational equilibrium relationship, where we consider the counterclockwise rotations as positive and fix the reference system at the point closest to the center of gravity
∑ τ = 0
F l -x W = 0
F =
let's calculate
F = 4/100 600
F = 24 N
