1. A uniform rod AB of weight loom and
length 2m supported by two vertical
strings at its end and carries a load
20kgf. Find the tensions on the string

Answer 1

Since your case is symmetrical you dont want to worry about torques, apply N2nd law, The 200N from the load will be equally divided into the two strings.

that is, tension is 100N
