Question

If a street light of mass m is suspended from the end of rod of length L in different figures

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question statement is ;

If a street light of mass M is suspended from the end of uniform rod of length L in the different possible patterns as shown in figure, then which among the three patterns is more sturdy?

See attached figure which was also missing.

For steady state, it is important that we consider equilibrium of street light

In terms of equillibrium, it can be written as

mg×x=T×y

T=mgx / y

Greater the value of y, lesser will be T, hence pattern A is more stable
