First, draw a diagram of the bar in some position and find the forces on it. If you can't post diagrams readably then describe it as well as you can.pitbull said:It seems like a basic problem, but I don´t know how to start. Could you guys give me some clues to start it?

I'll admit that I haven't thought about that. I suppose that you could write the Lagrangian for the system and work from there. Give it a go and see where it takes you.pitbull said:Would it be easy to solve it using Lagrange method?
The purpose of hanging a uniform bar is to demonstrate the principles of static equilibrium and the concept of center of mass. It also allows for the measurement of forces and moments acting on the bar.
To hang a uniform bar, you will need to suspend it from a fixed point using a string or rope. Make sure the bar is level and secure before proceeding with any experiments or measurements.
You will need a uniform bar, a string or rope, a fixed point to hang the bar from, and a ruler or measuring device. Optional equipment may include weights and a protractor for more advanced experiments.
The factors that can affect the hanging of a uniform bar include the weight and length of the bar, the angle at which it is suspended, and the location of the center of mass. External forces such as wind or vibrations can also impact the hanging of the bar.
Hanging a uniform bar can have various real-world applications, such as in construction for determining the stability of structures, in sports for analyzing the balance and stability of athletes, and in physics for understanding the principles of rotational equilibrium and center of mass.
