Rod is long and has mass . One end of Rod is attached to the wall with a fixed (rigid) support, and the other end is free. Rod is above Rod .
Ambient Earth gravity is downward. If the two rods are in stasis, and , what is the value of ?
Details and Assumptions:
- The universal gravitational constant is required, in addition to Earth gravity.
- The hinged support for Rod
can supply horizontal and vertical forces, but it cannot supply moments
- Both rods are rigid and uniform
