6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium

An object of mass $8\,kg$ is hanging from one end of a uniform rod $CD$ of mass $2\,kg$ and length $1\,m$ pivoted at its end $C$ on a vertical wall as shown in figure. It is supported by a cable $A B$ such that the system is in equilibrium. The tension in the cable is $............\,N$ (Take $g=10\,m / s ^2$ )

A

$240$

B

$90$

C

$300$

D

$30$

Solution

Taking torque about point $C$

$\frac{ T }{2} \times 60=20 \times 50+80 \times 100$

$\Rightarrow 3 T =100+800$

$\Rightarrow=300\,N$
