Ʃτ = 0
ƩF = 0
summing the torques for each piece, i found
Ʃτ = MgLsin(90-ψ) - mgIsin(ψ) = 0
MgLsin(90-ψ) = mgIsin(ψ)
ML/mI = sin(ψ)/sin(90-ψ) = sin(ψ)/cos(-ψ) = tan(ψ)
so ψ = tan-1(ML/mI)
i don't know if this is correct or not...
and I have no idea how I could find the angle without considering torque. any help is appreciated. thanks :)
