    Help with torque and equilibrium

    I tried setting sin@*T = m*g*x + m*g*(L/2) ...making tension... T = m*g*(x+L/2)/sin@ so the F_x = u*cos@*T ///u=coefficient of friction and F_y = m*g*(x+L/2) - T*sin@ the I'd set them equal to each other, which ended up wrong. I think I'm on the right track but can't figure out...

    Thanks for the many helpful posts/answers I've found through google! I ran into one I can't figure out, any help is much appreciated!... One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle @ with the stick. The...
