It is possible the question is flawed. The other end. Would the normal reactions on either side not change suddenly? I was assuming constant power. But why will it only slow down? My doubt exactly. What is this? Could you give me an example of such a problem? Maybe just link it.

I don't really understand.

Ok. So when I add a force F, the friction becomes μ(mg+F).

Then what is it about?

What do you mean? If it is applied at one point, then that element will have a bending moment. What is incorrect?

Friction before force is applied, f=μmg. After force is applied on element dx, at a distance x from hinge, the is a bending moment on that element dM which is given by normals on either side (say N1, N2) by dM=N1-N2 and N1+N2=mg+F.
