a 65 kg sign hung centered from a uniform rod of mass 9.8 kg and length 2.3 m. At one end(left) the rod is attached to the wall by a pivot; at the other end(right) it's supported by a cable that can withstand a maximum tension of 760 N. What is the minimum height h above the pivot for anchoring the cable to the wall?
i need help on setting up an equation to solve...
what i have so far i don't know how wrong or right it is.
(Force of sign)(Radius of sign)+(Force of rod)(Radius of rod)-(Tension)=0
(637N)(1.15m)+(96.04N)(1.15m)-m*g*sin(angle away from wall)=0
? i don't really know exactly where I am going with this
