Still haven't figured out how to get the answer... any1 have like a formula that will work that i can solve. I seriously have no clue as how to solve this still.

the angle labeled as theta is theta... between the table top and the beam

Bump cause I am desperate lol... and yet not even a reply :(

rad/s is angular velocity... 2(pi) rad = 1 rev i believe

Sry i meant sin(theta)=(sqrt(x^2-.5^2)/x)

Yah I thought i would have to use the the pivot point as the knife edge that's how i came up with, but I am having problems coming up with component forces cause i seem to have no given values off the bat. just more variables... I am so confused I am about to just rip it up.
