Answer:
given,
mass of uniform bar = 2.9 Kg
length of string = 3 m
mass of monkey = 1.45 Kg
monkey is sitting at the center
Weight of the beam will also consider to as the center
total downward force = 2.9 g + 1.45 g
now tension will balance the force
T₁ + T₂ = 2.9 g + 1.45 g
T₁ + T₂ = 4.35 g
taking moment about T₂ string
now,
T₁ x (3-0.74) - 4.35 g x (1.5 - 0.74) = 0
T₁ x 2.26 = 32.3988
T₁ = 14.34 N
