Hello I've attached the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that by giving us the clue of rotational equilibrium, it means net T has to be 0. The force at 10N will cause clockwise torque (T= rF, so T = .04m * 10N). The thing that confuses me is the force at point B, will it cause counterwise torque or no torque? Also I know the force that we are finding at point D will give us counterclockwise torque, but is the moment arm or lever arm going to be .04m too?
Thank You.
