Answer:
Given: 5 m (500 cm) tube with a mass of 9 kg suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm from each end.
Total force F = ma, ==> F = 9.8 x 9 = 88.2 N
Note; this bar is static; upward forces = downward forces
From center(250 cm) to the left 100 cm a vertical wire and 200 cm to the right of center another vertical wire.
To be balance Force(F) x Distance(D) on both side of center must be equal.
F x D = F x D
F x 100 = F x 200
F = 2F
These forces will equal total force
F + 2F = 88.2
F(1 + 2) = 88.2
3F = 88.2
F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N
So, Vertical wire 100 cm left of center will have a force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)
Vertical wire 200 cm right of center will have a force (tension) of 58.8 N (upward).
