The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.

We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.

For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.

ΣF = 0

$-15+T-W=0\\T-W=15$

Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.

ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.

ΣM = 0

$(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]$

Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The central blue square in between the lower pair of magnet has the least force of repulsion.

Explanation:

We can explain this using the dual nature of magnets.

Each magnet must have two poles namely:

-North pole

-South pole

We assume that the magnetic lines of forces enters from south pole and leaves from the north pole.

When brought together, like poles repel each other while opposite poles attract each other.

In the picture, the lower two magnets have opposite poles facing each other, hence the force of repulsion is minimum there and the force of attraction is maximum.
