Embibe Experts Solutions for Exercise 5: EXERCISE 6.5

A uniform rod has a weight of $40 \mathrm{N}$ and a length of $1 \mathrm{m}$. It is hinged to a wall (at the left end), and held in a horizontal position by a vertical massless string (at the right end). What is the magnitude of the torque exerted by the string about a horizontal axis which passes through the hinge and is perpendicular to the rod?

A uniform rod has a weight of $40 \mathrm{N}$ and a length of $1 \mathrm{m}$. It is hinged to a wall (at the left end), and held in a horizontal position by a vertical massless string (at the right end). What is the tension in the string?

A uniform rod has a weight of $40 \mathrm{N}$ and a length of $1 \mathrm{m}$. It is hinged to a wall (at the left end), and held in a horizontal position by a vertical massless string (at the right end). What is the magnitude of the hinge force?

A thin cylindrical rod of uniform mass density, rests against a smooth wall as shown in figure. Find the coefficient of friction between ground and rod (if the minimum angle that the rod can make with the horizontal is $\theta$)
