1 The counterclockwise and clockwise that are found in the solution are almost the same with very
little difference of clockwise torque greater than the counterclockwise torque. These results may be
due to specific decimal values.

2. The pivot is at 17.86 deg which shows that it is not parallel to the meterstick

3 Technically, the sum should be equal to zero since equilibrium is achieved at second condition but
due to specific decimal values it is close to zero with clockwise torque of -1.68 N-m and
counterclockwise torque -1.67 N-m.

a= 3.0m
R= 5.0m
b= √𝑅2−𝑎2
b= 4.0m
𝜃= tan-1(𝑎/𝑏)
𝜃= tan-1(3.0/4.0)
𝜃 = 36.87°
T =( wmass ) ( d mass ) +(w beam) ¿ ¿
( 400 N ) ( 4.0 m )+(200 N )(2.0 m)
T=
sin (36.87 ° ) ( 4.0 m)
T= 833.33N
Fx=Tcos 𝜃
Fx= (833.33N cos (36.87°)
Fx= 666.66N
Fy= Wbeam + Wmass - Tsin 𝜃
Fy= 200N + 400N – 833.33 sin 36.87°
Fy= 100N
