A light rod of length $200\,cm$ is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied to its ends. One of the wires is made of steel and is of cross-section $0.1\,cm^2$ and the other of brass of cross-section $0.2\,cm^2$ . Along the rod at which distance a weight may be hung to produce equal stresses in both the wires?

A non-uniform bar of weight $W$ is suspended at rest by two strings of negligible weight as shown in Figure. The angles made by the strings with the vertical are $36.9^{\circ}$ and $53.1^{\circ}$ respectively. The bar is $2\; m$ long. Calculate the distance $d$ of the centre of gravity of the bar from its left end.
