to answer your quesiton, we are to asume that to the ability we can measure the pole is uniform. We limited to what we were allowed to measure.
my thoughts are that it has something to do with the torque presented by the two masses and the different lengths from the center. maybe this will help
, you know, if you don't like my question feel free not to answer it, but if you have anything productive to add feel free to post, and if you knew what rotational equilibrium meant then you would understand that when the weights cause the hanging pole to balance and no angular motion is...

This isn't actually a problem, but a portion of our latest lab assignment.
There is a pole with 3 hooks in it, one in the center at the top and two at varying distances on the bottom. The pole is hanging from a ringstand by the top hook...
