so then how would i find that force if it isn't the same as weight?

well, what's the normal reaction? I am not sure what you mean. like the force opposing weight? wouldn't that mean the total force would be 2*w?

I logically discovered that there would be no torque from weight at the vertical, but what about part d? I think the only forces acting are gravity and the centripetal force, but how would i solve this? I know the weight = m*g = 73.575 and centripetal force acts in two directions, up and...

A stick of uniform density with mass M = 7.5 kg and length L = 1 m is pivoted about an axle which is perpendicular to its length and located 0.12 m from one end. Ignore any friction between the stick and the axle. a) What is the moment of inertia of the stick about this axle? Iaxle = kg...
