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.

A $\sqrt{34}\,m$ long ladder weighing $10\,kg$ leans on a frictionless wall. Its feet rest on the floor $3\,m$ away from the wall as shown in the figure. If $F_{f}$ and $F_{w}$ are the reaction forces of the floor and the wall, then ratio of $F _{ a } / F _{f}$ will be:

(Use $\left.g=10\,m / s ^{2}\right)$

$ABC$ is an equilateral triangle with $O$ as its centre. $\vec F_1, \vec F_2 $and $\vec F_3$ represent three forces acting along the sides $AB, BC$ and $AC$ respectively. If the total torque about $O$ is zero then the magnitude of  $\vec F_3$ is

A uniform beam of weight $W$ is attached to a vertical wall by a hinge $H$ . The beam is held horizontal by a rope as shown below. Which one of the following best shows the direction of the reaction force $R$ at the hinge ?

Shown in the figure is rigid and uniform one meter long rod $AB$ held in horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling. The rod is of mass $'m'$ and has another weight of mass $2m$ hung at a distance of $75\, cm$ from $A$. The tension in the string at $A$ is$….mg$
