A metal rod of weight ' W ' is supported by two parallel knife-edges A and B . The rod is. in equilibrium in horizontal position. The distance between two knife-edges is ' r '. The centre of mass of the rod is at a distance ' x ' from A. The normal reaction on A is
Options
- AW r x
- BW x r
- CW (r-x) x
- DW ( r - x ) r
Correct answer
D. W ( r - x ) r
Step-by-step solution
For equilibrium, aligned & N ₁ r = W ( r - x ) & N ₁= W ( r - x ) r aligned
