Homework Statement
Homework Equations
sum of torques = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
So I tried to put the torques into the equation:
Sum torques = mgL - T *sin(theta) * (L-x) = 0.
Solving for the T gave me [mgL]/[ (L-x) * sin(theta) ]. This is not an option in the answers.
Could anyone please help me out in understanding where I possibly derailed, and why the authors think the answer is 4. Thanks in advance!
