I can calculate the force on a given point by F = T/L. But, since the entire length is touching I am not sure. Force near the pivot will be more and at the end it will be the least.
A rod of length 'L' is hinged at one of its ends and is lying on the ground. A torque 'T' is applied to it at the hinge such that it pushes the rod into the ground. What will be the force profile on the ground since the entire length of the rod touches the ground? Assume the rod is weightless.
