JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

An object of mass 8 kg is hanging from one end of a uniform rod \(C D\) 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:
(Take \(g=10 m s ^{-2}\) )

  1. A 240 N
  2. B 90 N
  3. C 300 N
  4. D 30 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 300 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Taking torque about point C \(\frac{\text T}{2} \times 60=20 \times 50+80 \times 100\) \(\Rightarrow 3 \text T=100+800\) \(\Rightarrow=300\text N\)
