The value of the force, F₀, at equilibrium is equal to the horizontal
component of the tension in string 2.
Response:
- The value of F₀ so that string 1 remains vertical is approximately <u>0.377·M·g</u>
Given:
The weight of the rod = The sum of the vertical forces in the strings
Therefore;
M·g = T₂·cos(37°) + T₁
The weight of the rod is at the middle.
Taking moment about point (2) gives;
M·g × L = T₁ × 2·L
Therefore;
Which gives;
F₀ = T₂·sin(37°)
Which gives;
- F₀ ≈ <u>0.377·M·g</u>
