AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the force acting on the fixed points of an inclined bar secured between two walls. The user inquires about the downward force exerted on these points due to the bar's weight. They suggest that the load at the fixture points is parallel to the weight of the bar, acting at its midpoint, and question if this assumption is correct. The post highlights a lack of responses, indicating frustration with the forum's declining engagement. The inquiry remains unanswered, reflecting a need for clarification on the mechanics involved.

Homework Statement


We have a straight bar of specific length that its edges are secured between two walls. However the bar is not parallel to the ground, but has an angle. My question is, what is the force that pushes each of the two fixed points in the walls, down?

Homework Equations


ΣF=0

The Attempt at a Solution


I think that the load to the fixture points will be parallel to the weight of the bar acting at its middle point. And the forces will be equal. Is that true?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
