This is not the same as the force along the bar.
Yes, I understand.
Correct equation is
##2m\vec a_{ CM}=2m\vec g +\vec N_1 + ⃗\vec N_2 ##
##\vec N_1## - is the reaction from the floore
##\vec N_2## - is the reaction from the wall
Also, I know from the energy law conservation or other the normal and tangential accelerations of the CM. How I can find ##N_2##, I need ##a_x##?
