Question

A rod of weight W is supported by two parallel knife edges A and B and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance d from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at distance x from A. The normal reaction on A is(a) $\frac{Wd}{x}$(b) $\frac{W(d-x)}{x}$(c) $\frac{W(d-x)}{d}$(d) $\frac{Wx}{d}$

Answer 1

hence the option b is correct
