Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics

Let be the force acting on a particle having position vector and be the torque of this force about the origin. Then

Four equal and parallel forces are acting on a rod (as shown in the figure) at distances of , , and , respectively, from one end of the rod. Under the influence of these forces the rod


A uniform rod of mass and length is suspended with two massless strings as shown in the figure. If the rod is at rest in a horizontal position the ratio of tension in the two strings is

Two persons of equal height are carrying a long uniform wooden beam of length . They are at distance and from the nearest ends of the rod. The ratio of normal reactions at their heads is

A shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure is lying on a smooth floor. A force is applied at the point parallel to , such that the object has only translational motion without rotation. Find the location of with respect to
