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\(....mg\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(0.5\)
  3. C \(0.75\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tau_{ B }=0\) (torque about point \(B\) is zero \()\) \(\left(T_{A}\right) \times 100-(m g) \times 50-(2 m g) \times 25=0\) \(100 T _{ A }=100 mg\) \(T_{A}=1 mg\)
